    You are too kind. I am just a grunt here, having fun with History and Ancient Coins. Thank you for the compliment.
    Kindest,

    Wow, that magazine is scarce I guess! Googled it and found NONE! Anyone know where I can get a copy? Article on crack addicts, busting them out, and one on how to hide your coins from your wife! Sounds interesting, LOL.
    I need a copy!

    No butt’s on my coins that I can remember. However when my Seleucus II tetradrachm was struck, something got into the reverse die that makes Apollo look very “gifted by nature”. ;):p

    Seleucus II Callinicus, 246-226 BC Chr. AR tetradrachm inc. in northern Syria or northern Mesopotamia Vs .: head with diadem from right, back: Apollon stands with arrow on tripod from left, monogram Houghton / Lorber 724.1 on left inside; Newell, WSM 990. 17.18 g.

    For comparison here is a non”gifted” depiction of Apollo.

    Hmm. Maybe we should, as a group, make this magazine a reality à la The Celator but lighthearted with fun Ryro-esque articles and a smattering of serious stuff. Of course some fun photoshop jobs would not be out of place :D. I wonder if any dealers and auction houses would pay for ads in such a rag?

    Found this “broken angel” metal detecting outside of an old black church. Made of bronze. But she has a nice posterior.
    Congrats! You’ve been mooned by an angel! 2F7AEE0A-211B-4254-93FF-5DC18CB2725F.jpeg 2F7AEE0A-211B-4254-93FF-5DC18CB2725F.jpeg AC424A60-A938-4325-BFE0-70679027DCFC.jpeg A4729297-4284-41B7-8C87-47E5FF3A130A.jpeg 2F7AEE0A-211B-4254-93FF-5DC18CB2725F.jpeg AC424A60-A938-4325-BFE0-70679027DCFC.jpeg A4729297-4284-41B7-8C87-47E5FF3A130A.jpeg

    from NGC: "BRUSHED describes a coin that has been wiped with an abrasive brush. The affected areas may be narrowed down to OBV BRUSHED or REV BRUSHED"

    I thought @TIF once posted a quite formidable and very unclothed Athena? or Minerva?

    three are better than one, I like 3 Graces on coins, in the Met and in books. My Julia is in the book.

    That coin came to me in a trade. I suspect most people here would rather have what it cost me:
    r12240xx2273.jpg
    It will be easier to find another Didius and there are may nicer ones out there but I do miss that coin.
    I'd love to have the one Martin posted but I suspect what he would want in trade would be a family member, right arm or back teeth. Maybe I will get lucky and find one in a junk box someday. Considering what we collect, that is possible, The likelihood of most dealers recognizing what they have is not high.

    I'd prefer his too but didn't want to seem fickle by posting a crying gif so soon after pouting that I didn't have yours :hilarious::kiss:.

    I would love to see this but do believe that most collectors take the hobby way to seriously to be seen reading this rag. I come from a generation where proper boys did not read Mad Magazine but this proposal is the love child of Mad and the Celator.
    The world currently has an opening just in case TIF wants a career change.

    T. Didius sounds like the perfect rap name for this post.

    here’s my best posterior:
    Anc-05-BA-iee-Menander I-DR-67.jpg Kingdom of Bactria
    Menander I r. c. 165/55-130 B.C.
    AR Drachm, 15.71mm x 2.5 grams
    Obv.: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ / ΜΕΝΑΝΔΡΟΥ. Diademed bust of the sovereign right, coat fastened on the right shoulder
    Rev.: (Maharajasa tratarasa / Menamdrasa). Athena Alkidemos standing left. Monogram 'H' in right field
    Ref.: Bopearachchi, Ménandre (I) Sôter, 67

    My old photo may have accentuated Athena’s “gifts” a bit better:

    OOhh! Maybe this Athena? Her reverse is in fine form on this reverse :D. That wedgie looks quite uncomfy though o_O

    And what is being implied with this statement?

    Are you implying that I am unable to achieve seriousness!?!?

    How about these SERIOUS posteriors?

    And for the faithful viewers that are a fan of the upper form, here's a piece I've acquired from the Indus Valley 2,000 BCE, 68 mm of Terracotta:

    All these big buns remind me of a celebration of maximizing assets we had a while back:
