    Due to heavy rain (100 mm.):(

    Now to the rest of the story.....
    I figured I would do three things today, bake a load of cinnamon buns/ make some shaghetti sauce/ and look at coin auctions. So, I ended up winning this coin from CNG. This coin was graded by CNG as good VF=EF for most other auctions. This is the best quality I have seen for these/ even though I prefer MS.
    AV Florin ND Perpignan Mint struck after 1365AD (badly struck)
    Pedro IV "El Ceremonioso" 1336-87
    King of Aragon
    Coin is 3.35g. 19mm. .998 fine gold

    That is what I have every morning for breakfast, four cinnamon buns and freshly ground "starbucks" dark roast coffee:)
    My homemade jobbies have tons butter and other good stuff. I do not believe in diets. Even with me taking in 5000+ calories a day, still wear size 30 jeans like in my highschool days:) Walking 270 kms @ week is good for the health and the coin budget;)

    Thanks for all your nice comments, now that the days are getting shorter I will be able to post more coins/ comments. With the rainout I got my entry in for Curtisimo's great contest. I picked up 40 new coins, this year so far. However, 30 are post 1500, rest are ancient/ medieval:)

    "El Ceremonioso" is a most excellent monarch name! I love the colorful kingly nicknames in this period.

    John the Baptist's expressive facial details on this one make it all the more fantastic.

    I hope you are talking about the cinnamon buns and not all of Panzerman's hammered gold pieces! :nailbiting:;)
