Ancients => Ahhh, Phark it!!

Yeeehaaa!! => yup, I scored "4" more new coins today ... and this is number #1

I laughed when TIF & Mentor mentioned that they'd seen a stevex6 coin in the auction ... and yah, I admit that I am drawn to coins with this coin-fabric

=> who doesn't love the looks of these sweet BCD beauties, right?

... anyway ...

I didn't have a coin from Pharkadon, so it was a no-brainer (I love adding examples to my Thessaly city collection)

Ummm, I love it!! ... I sure hope that you guys see the coin-appeal as well ...

=> cheers, coin-friends ...

The coin is great, but that reverse is phenomenal. No Phark it here.

 

I consider it a good sign when we see things an think of each other. In this case, I liked the coin but knew Steve would like it more than I would so bidding on it would accomplish nothing. What Steve did not say is that I advised against another choice he made and Clio ended up buying it. I feel so stupid because I usually see why Clio goes for a coin and often feel Steve pays more that I would (he has a job, I don't). Watching friends buy nice coins is a sub-hobby and a much cheaper one at that!

 

I don't get it

 

Wrong word. I corrected it. Thanks smartypants

 

no problemo, my sweet Big-Bro (I really wasn't sure what you were sayin')

 

Oh sorry, perhaps I should have asked for some relatively relative examples?

I love my coins and I hope that you dudes will do me the coin-honour of posting your cool examples

=> either way ... this place rocks!!

 

Ummm as always, I guess it's easier if I go first, eh?



Sure, I'll go first ... here come photos of my underpants!!

... just jokes ...

Ummm, how 'bout I post a few of my sweet ...

=> Thessalian "HORSE" examples

 

Okay sure, my sweet horse-coins might be getting a bit old, but hopefully they're still cool? ...

*whatev*

Hey gang, I love this new coin ... and if you think of a neat coin that you have that might fit into this thread, then "please" => I'd love it if you'd post it for me (man, I love seeing your coins)

 

Ummm, how 'bout coins with "crescents" ...


... mmmm, crescants

 

=> Beat that Crescant!!

 

Well maybe it's just me but I'm loving your new addition to the stable and WOW the rest of that herd !!

I'm normally perusing threads on a small screen, but thought I'd take a peek at CT on my big 27 incher before heading out from work today - glad I did!! Wow! and Wow again!!!

 

Nice Steve!

 

Thanks, gang ...

 

Very cool, Steve! I didn't go through today's auction thoroughly and missed that one completely. Neat find .

I have a couple from Pharkadon, also ex BCD, to add to your thread.

A lovely hemidrachm...


A cute little obol (11mm, 1.13g) and its tags and tiny polaroids...

 

nice addition stevers! i still like the "walk like an Egyptian" coin tho

 

How about much later coins ?

 

BCD FTW!

Blowing up Thessaly 24x7.

 

what a nice looking coin! simple and pretty. i wonder what that crescent is on the reverse? i assume it's a moon....but what is the line? neat coin!

 

Often the Roman Ladies were shown on crescents ...
