<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marc Aceton, post: 2006803, member: 72101&quot;]Dear fellow collectors,</p><p><br /></p><p>although my wife is not averse to collecting, she is usually - cautiously speaking - not very pleased with my hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless, there is a coin in my collection that is warming not only mine but also my wife&#039;s heart. I discovered this item coincidentally while I was watching an internet live auction bidding intending to acquire Roman sestertii, which is my major fields of interest. And in the moment the frog depicted on the obverse appeared on my computer screen, it once struck me that this could be a coin for my wife since she is a collector of frog figures. Even though I am usually planning very carefully what to buy, I spontaneously decided to place a bid, which made my wife and me become the owner of this enchanting bronze.</p><p><br /></p><p>Greetings,</p><p><br /></p><p>Marc Aceton</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s20.postimg.org/u3dcy326z/Frog.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s20.postimg.org/u3dcy326z/Frog.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s20.postimg.org/myvjp1uxp/Frog_small.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Apulia, Luceria, 3rd Century BC, AE Uncia</p><p>Obverse: Frog</p><p>Reverse: Grain ear, between I and pellet (mark of value)</p><p>Thurlow &amp; Vecchi 278var, HN Italy 674var.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
