Next: A silver coin which looks like gold ( and not just because it was photographed on a blue background. )

next: another silver coin that looks like a gold coin

 

The theme was Trophy when I added it....... maybe I'm too old and slow. A Valens was the first coin I had. I bought it in Egypt by the Great Pyramid and after c 20 years I decided to identify it and my present coin collecting all started from there.

 

I am not sure if you where slow/ I reacted quite fast and still got beat out. This forum has some real speed demons, like me on my snowmobile

 

Antoninianus of Pupienus - has golden tinge.

next, a coin of Balbinus.

 

Always happy to show Balbinus "piece":

Next up: coin you got already broken

 

Right?! I don’t often see a theme I can jump in on, but when I do, I’m too slow to the trigger!

 

For this thread to work, participants need to be sure that they are looking at the last thread posted previously AND check immediately after they post to be sure that they don't need to retract/modify their post. Last I looked, the current theme was a broken coin. I wonder if it will be current after I typed all the above. We will see.

Commodus AE25x28 Flavopolis Serapis and Isis
