    Look at what just showed up in the mail today, my new Alexander drachm which I bought last week, plus my Antony and Octavian which was in layaway purgatory at FORVM for approximately a month.

    This calls for a celebration. It's party time!

    *Please make sure your coins drink responsibly. Friends don't let ancient coins operate coin flips while drunk

    And here are the photos from seller.....

    Carausius Brother, can you spare a sestertius?

    I love post office days like that. Pretty coins. However, your "Alexander drachm" looks like a Lysimachus drachm to me! :pompous:
