Well now, that's about the nicest compliment about my looks anyone can say.

 

Fascinating coin and if the good looking guy wth the tie is a lawyer, I would definitely hire him!

 

Thank you for your service in the defence of liberty, Major! Your collection must be awsome judging by the coins you have posted.

 

Your a wealthy man! And I'm not talking about the coins!

 

I think wearing crabs as hats fell out of fashion about 2000 years ago but thank you for demonstrating! LOL! Great coin!!!

 

Beautiful coin! One ex-archer to another!

 

Great coin!

Very cool coin, Steve! And you look like very cool guy!!! Thanks for your great coin collecting advice!

 

Thank you for including me in your excellent auctions! One of these days I'm going to surprise you and bid on all of them!

 

Pompeii is a bucket list visit for me! Thanks for letting us that it is you in the photo! At first I thought it was Robert De Niro!

 

In terms of temperatures we have a huge variety in Europe. When traveling in January or February, I certainly prefer Lisbon over Helsinki for example. Tornados have so far been local around here - still bad for the places that are affected, but not "major". Hurricanes or typhoons, no. Well, there are things that I do not have but do not miss either ...

Ah Yes, @chrisild, and Helsinki in the Summer is gorgeous; you get those EXTRA Day time hours!

And Finland Winter... nothing like a Finnish sauna, then a roll in the snow, then back to the sauna!

 

You could play King David in a History Channel show!

 

You're encouraging comments to a beginner ancients collector have been SUPER.

 

Thank you Sir! I approach things a little differently. Take all that I say with a grain of salt. I am an end-consumer, end hobbiest thay captures Ancients on my whim. I am not a Numismatist, nor a professor, nor scientist, nor a scholar; rather I am a guy from a completely different walk in life who enjoys History as a Hobby. Ancient coins are tangible touches with critical events that have changed Human History... they are the few items that can be consistently collected that touches historical time periods. Best to you!

 

I have avoided this topic. Why? I am always behind the camera. Very few photos of me. But I went through some Facebook pics, and found this, circa 1991:



Sailor of the Month, VAQ-139 (I think 1991). Stupid NERD! Damned proud to have served, and one of the best experiences of my entire life. Most recent, last year, no hair on top, the rest now grey:

 

May God Bless you! Thank you for your service!

 

Sallent, Jr holding the Trajan Tetadrachm from Tyre. I'm getting him into collecting and I told him that coin is his in the future when I think he's ready to have his own collection.

Poor kid, his dad put the coin in a holder. How lame, daddy, let the kid hold it like it was meant to...right?

 

Great, start them young. What my late step-grandfather did for me. About your sons age too.

 

Well, I do like my anonymity.....



Not the real me, though.



But if you really have to know what that fellow looks like behind the camera.....



But seriously (if that can be said of me) This is what I looked like back in 2011.....
