    Yes they did but if you take a tour instead of just going there you get to go beyond the rope and inside the monument.

    Better late than never. Imagine I wasn't aware of this intimate and friendly thread until now. I've been watching it for an hour. Can't wait to post a new photo of mine.
    Here's a nice one with my blue pet ( J.A. School). It was a very pleasant evening during the wedding of a friend's daughter. I was happy after some cheerful drinks. That was over 4 years ago. I'll be posting more fresh photos.
    Here's the blue photo first. Blue because she was wearing a blue robe. The coin happened also to be photographed on a blue base. Really crazy blue... Charles et Lucie  2014.jpg LysimO spiral  Lampsacus.JPG Lysimachos    Lanz 123.JPG

    So here's a picture of me a couple years ago with my two sons when my beard was at its most glorious.

    I'm a fan of beards on coins, too.

    Here is me and my little Nikki. She has started a US coin collection this last year- which has been fun. They have great collecting pieces/sets for kids! However, I was greatly relieved when she asked me for her birthday next month if she could have some of the "good coins". I asked "good coins?" - to which she replied "yes the dirty cool ones like yours mommy." :hilarious: So along with her Kids mint set she will be getting a little bag of uncleaned ancients. :D

    and one of my Favorite Gal Val- because she looks so manly and I love the hair!

    Since I last posted on this thread I've added another kid and lost some hair. There might be causation between the two.

    I'll add a coin to keep it legal. I've only purchased a coupleof coins this year. Here is a penny of Henry III from Canterbury.

    Since I'm always behind the camera and never (never never) in front of it, I grabbed a really crappy screen shot from a really crappy video of my first skydive - so long ago the video is on VHS...it was that, or my driver's license picture, and that's sure not going to happen. :jawdrop:

    And just a copper As of Augustus, struck under Tiberius

    I hereby dub thee "Ken Forkbeard".

    Numismatic note, copied from Wikipedia:

    [​IMG]
    A coin of Sweyn Forkbeard, minted in 995; this is the earliest known coin with a Latin inscription minted in Scandinavia, based on Anglo-Saxon models and made by an English moneyer (obv.: ZVEN REX AD DENER "Sven, king of [or among] the Danes", rev.: GOD-WINE M-AN D-NER "Godwine, moneyer among the Danes").[3]

    It is a little-known fact that turkeys cannot resist 'em some emoji glasses.
