<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 13463563, member: 93702&quot;]Two kids in college - what can you do? One in Law School the other wants to enter Law Enforcement. Will they become a Lawyer and a Police Officer (my own personal Law &amp; Order!!... one arrests the murderer and the other puts &#039;em away??&nbsp; .. dun dun!!?)</p><p><br /></p><p>I freaking hope so -&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t know and neither do you. They may go completely different ways - but they have great support. They&#039;re good kids .. I love them and support them - so coins are a bit down the list.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for my coins .. I really grabbed two grail coins this year that I am extremely happy to show. They&#039;re lower grade but important to me. The others are fun, interesting and would not make any Top lists of any note - but you know I only purchased 9 coins this year so if you want you can observe, point and laugh - well I&#039;m your guy for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>#1.. ya baby!! Finally!!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1529943[/ATTACH]</p><p>I did it! An OWL... it seemed an impossibility when I started collecting but the timing just worked out and a nice member here helped me out allowing a few installments.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1529944[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Lucius Verus, 161-169. Sestertius - a dream coin to me. Verus and Aurelius shaking hands on the reverse. 32 mm of Wow. She&#039;s hefty! This coin will never leave my possession.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now we start going into the weeds..</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Licinius I (GENIO POP ROM reverse from Trier) made into a pendant.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><u>From the seller:</u></span> the pendant itself is certainly an older style (maybe early to mid 20th century, or even earlier) and is firmly attached to the coin. An interesting piece. Coin is 21.6mm in diameter.</p><p><u>From Me:</u> That&#039;s an awful coin! - but someone made this into jewelry and must have loved it? I was cool with paying $18&nbsp; for this. I&#039;ve never owned anything like it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1529945[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ant of Victorinus, Salus.</p><p>Victorinus AD 286-270 or 269-271.</p><p>Æ Antoninianus, 22mm, 3.5g, 12h.

Thanks for having a look and please enjoy 2023!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that most from that area will see my efforts as futile. Well I have really enjoyed the year and look forward to participating more in 2023.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
