Again never got notification Sorry :-((

Glad your still doin Trivia topics :)

Sorry Clinker never got the message till now :-(

I just wanted to let you know that there are some errors in your Roman coin thread that you might want to edit. The "As" of Augustus is actually a provincial coin, not an imperial as, and some of the dates you gave for the coins of Augustus don't match what's on the link, and you wrote "Jukia" instead of "Julia". I would have sent this as a private message, but it doesn't seem that you can receive them.

Clinker you are a real man of class.
I enjoy reading your threads and they sometime make my day.
You aren't appreciated enough old fellow. ;)

Thank you very much.

I am not comfortable with your wholesale linking to various pages within my www.shieldnickels.net website. Here is the page on which I detail how I prefer links to be made: http://www.shieldnickels.net/1883_2/linkingTo.html

You should have linked to the main page for Revolutionary Mexican coinage only. There is a good reason for that - all of your links will break if I edit the website.

Furthermore, I find it annoying that you engaged in such wholesale linking without a) asking me what I thought of it or b) crediting me by name.

LOL let he who majes no mistakes cast the 1st pebble and watch it turn into a landslide :-)) You dont make that many mistakes my friend

Clinker,

Thank you for so many informational threads. I really appreciate the time and effort you spend writing each of your Trivia threads. I read them all, even if I am not a collector of those specific coins. I read your post because I know beforehand that I am going to find something of interest and will learn something every time.

I have a question that I have been having a tough time finding the answer for. It's about a design feature on the ASE. Would you happen to know why a feather from the eagle on the reverse is allowed to hang over the top edge of the shield? I'm curious if there is more than an aesthetic reason: does this symbolize anything? does this aid in counterfeit-detection, prevent simple replicas from passing? any thing else?

If you have any info about this, pls PM me or post in my Visitor Messages. Here's a reference image:
