    Nice coins, @zumbly

    @Mikey Zee gifted me this little gem. I was VERY grateful, as I had just started looking for a Curule Chair!

    Agreed. Always liked that Goddess. Very cool that she preceded the Greeks, and goes back to the Neolithic Ages. Some cool Pantheon that were before the Greeks... AND, it was not a Patriarchal approach to their religions.

    ..wow!....6000BC?!?......that's almost as far back as the mother goddess figurines...it's that turret/city wall crown that intrigues me( i must say that time was kind to her looks tho :p)

    TIF Always learning.

    OmNomNom and everyone, I'm touched :). I'm alive and well, just busy and coin play has taken a backseat to other stuff.

    :D

    I haven't even photographed the coin yet... slippin'... definitely slippin'. @rrdenarius sent me a super cool coin a while back and I haven't even taken pictures of it yet, or one gifted by @Brian Bucklan! Man, I'm feeling guilty. Maybe this coming week I'll have some coin time :).

    Hope everyone's doing well and staying clear of COVID.

    I've been summoned! Sorry guys, posting on coin forums has an ebb and flow to it. Right now I'm in a video-game phase... lost 60 hours(!) to Frostpunk dammit. Also working a lot at my day job selling elements from the periodic table. I am, however, still plugging away a bit on my next book. This is numero uno on my bucket list 'fo I croak.... coins always center me back on mission.

    Facebook's a reliable way to stay in touch. Add me https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1215935556

    Think of how many coins you could have acquired had you purchased a used Saturn instead of the car in that photo! Priorities, man! PRIORITIES!
