    Hey everyone,

    How's it goin?

    I just wanted to show off the awesome coin that our good friend James hooked my up with. James has been doing a fantastic job of sharing with us his knowledge of the London Mint over the past few months. He recently had a contest and I was the lucky winner of this bad boy:

    This is Galerius Maximian, not to be confused with Maximian Herculius, which is what I was doing.

    It's one thing to see a coin online, but it's completely different to hold it in hand. Wow!

    Thank you so much to James and to Alegandron for being the messenger!

    Now to the update: I was sick with the flu for the first week of October, so it set me back on my packing.

    I'll be moving in this weekend to my apartment. The excitement and anxiety in increasing as I get closer.

    They did a fantastic paint job on the apartment. I can't wait to start poking holes in it and hanging up stuff. It's going to look like a toddler decorated, which I'm stoked about. :cool:

    I'm going to have fun transporting my reptiles. They probably won't eat for a month. They do no like to be disturbed, total divas. :rolleyes:

    That's about it.

    Have fun and feel free to post anything irrelevant. :D

    WOW Erin! FANTASTIC coin! That is a big one! Very nice! Congrats... Twas a pleasure sending it on for @jamesicus ! And a real treat to finally see what was in that heavy envelope! I was so tempted to open it steal a peek at it, but it was best to be surprised today!

    Mine has a funky flan... and it is chocolate flavored.

    Glad to hear you are getting better Erin -- I was getting worried about you. And my thanks to Brian (@Alegandron) for his help in getting the coin to you.

    Beautiful coin Erin! I was fortunate in that @jamesicus sent me a great Maximian Herculius. Love that Galerius!
