    Thanks, Lil Bro .... yah, I seem to be getting a bit of an addiction goin' for these super-cool Cast AE Bronzes!! (well, might as well dominate a small pond, eh?)

    => Doug and I seem to be the only dudes so far that even happen to own one of these weird lil' dudes!! (and that's okay with me!!)


    ;)

    Huh? => no comments from Doug, eh? ... I thought you'd be lovin' this new addition?


    Oh, I also received my big toothy-lookin' Trias in the mail today, so I will try to snap some home-photos of it (it is really somethun!!)

    Doug is without electric power and only gets to visit WiFi for short periods so some posts may get overlooked. I have wasted more time trying to get a good photo of mine than is reasonable. They are not easy to make look like something other than a rock.

    Huh, well I certainly think that my newest coin has graduated beyond the ol' "rock" category ...



    I will try to get my act together and take some photos today (after I have a nap ... we had our annual golf tourney last night and it turned into a gong-show ... lotsa fun, but I'm moving kinda slow this morning!!)


    :zzzzzz:

    Hey Doug. You're suppose to pay the electric bill.

    scottishmoney Buh bye

    I really like them, but so far I have not ventured out of Syracuse in my Sicily collections.

    scottishmoney => I agree that Syracuse is still where my heart lies, but as my collection has grown I have branched-out and encompassed a few more of the cities of Sicily (honestly, these weird lil' cast AE coins have become a bit of a passion during the past few months ... I find them very alluring, rare and interesting) ....... but yah, it is pretty hard to beat those wonderful dolphin-coins from Syracuse, eh!!?

    Cheers


    :cheers:

    => yah, I totally agree!! (*sigh* ... my photo attempts are always such a disappointment!!)

    ... but I have included a few photo attempts, trying to show-off a bit more detail of this baby!!

    Again => here is a better coin than mine, which shows a bit more detail (eagle standing, crab-body, 4 pellets)

    Your coin and photos are much better than mine! I can never make the crab show clearly.
