<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 1794009, member: 54140&quot;]I have had to enforce a coin hold on myself until my birthday to save up for a nice present for myself but I still had a couple coins on the way and they just arrived yesterday. I tell ya it was a stupidly awful week so if you want to just get to the coins scroll down but I am going to have a short rant.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First work was incredibly busy which isn&#039;t a bad thing it makes the days go by fast but is exhausting. My girlfriend and I came home on Wednesday to find a nice note under the door with a notice from the caretakers saying they needed to check our apartment for bug infestation. My girlfriend is the panicy type called the landlord immediately to figure out what the heck was going on. Turns out the apartment above us and below us has a fairly intense cockroach infestation and they were wondering if we had seen anything. Sure we had one or two bugs but I just figured they were getting in from that small hole in our screen. She essentialy says &#039;well if they aren&#039;t there yet they will be soon&#039; so they check and find a couple bugs. My caretaker is awesome though and was able to get exterminators in right away Friday but that meant essentially tearing apart the apartment so they could spray. I have now managed to get my apartment back together and everything put away but it was a stressful couple of days. It frustrates me so much that we got cockroaches in our place from other peoples mess (my gf is slightly a neat freak).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On top of all of that the power adaptors for both of our laptops failed so I had to sink some money into buying new ones today so we had access to our laptops.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But I am a brightside type of person and Friday when I got home I had 8 coins waitings in my mail (4 were modern). Also Arsenal and the Bisons won today and I got to see a bunch of people at the football game so the weekend has been all right.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyways end rant.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All of the coins come from the ebay accounts of people who frequent the various forums! I would do a coin a day like stevex6 but I don&#039;t have the self control right now</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First up</p><p>Caracalla AE Denarius Rome AD 216</p><p>Obv. ANTONIVS PIVS AVG GERM laureate bust right</p><p>Rev.

I have been looking for a decent Caracalla for awhile (my other one is junk) and am quite pleased with this one for the price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for sitting through my rant! These are the last coins for me until the birthday present to myself. I am more excited for the day before my birthday than the day itself. I get to go to a coin show AND a jets game.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cheers[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
