Here is a slabbed ancient I just picked up today: It's an average little coin of Rhodes with a rose on each side. I would like to send it to someone who will give the slab the respect it deserves. The only thing I ask is that when you are done respecting the slab please post some pics. Anyone interested? Please only US & Canada to keep the postage to a minimum.
Me please! I'll take care of the slab and do a review with pics. I've never won a giveaway, yet given many coins away. I would really like to win something for once.
I was, I heard your name here and there but didn't put 2 n' 2 together... I was the blonde kid with the white hat. I saw the two slabbed coins at Berman's table.
Yeah, that was me sitting there going through his coins. Couldn't resist buying this slab just to post this thread.
Very nice of you to do this @Brian Bucklan. While I don't collect these. I have been wanting to add one to my wife's world coin collection and make it the oldest coin in the set. Maybe get her interested in ancient coins as well. We have never broken open any slabs so it would be safe with us as well. Hope you will consider us cause we are in.
Come on, if I win it then I promise I will fly the coin to Cuba in 2 weeks, take pictures of it next to scenic and historic places in Cuba, and smash the slab upon my return. Or I'll smash it in Cuba. Whatever you prefer.
Step 1: Hammer (remove coin) Step 2: Run over with car Step 3: Mix with dirt Step 4: Flush Count me in.
