    I just received an email from my son informing me that my Christmas Present is finally done and on it's way to my door. I can't wait to populate it with my legionary coins. But first I wanted to show it to all my coin friends here at CT. I am so anxious to have it in hand I feel like a child waiting for Santa.

    Wow, your son made that?

    How did he engrave the lettering?

    That is spectacular.

    No, he doesn't have the skill. He commissioned it made from someone in North Carolina. My son just told him what he wanted. It was suppose to be done by Christmas, but I guess 3 months late is okay when looking at the results.

    It will be mostly full. I'm still hunting down the last few. I need five more, but of course they are the most elusive.

    WOW! It is gorgeous work without the Coins! I cannot wait to see it WITH your coins! Very very nice!

    And, I believe you have a 12 Caesars in a case also!

    Yes, I do, but I don't think it is as nice as this new one.

    That case looks spectacular!!! Such a creative idea!

    I have a few questions about it. The first row is:

    LEGIO II
    LEGIO III
    LEGIO IIII
    LEGIO IV

    Is that correct? No Legio I? Two 4th Legions?
