I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist this sweet combo of boat-n-animal (two of my favourites!!) ... I sure hope that you coin-dudes love this baby as much as I do!! (enjoy!!)

Oooopsie ... => my OCD is makin' me put all of my Roman Republican "AE" coins in the same thread!! ... hey, "please" post any of your RR-AE examples ... Thanks gang ...
nice critter's n' boats! i think i like the elephant the best....plus, agree with mat...nice patina also. man....i still don't have a republican.
Thanks for the great coin-compliments, gang!! => yah, I seem to be lovin' these sweet RR-AE's lately ... they seem so, "RR interlude" between the Greek coins and the Roman coins ... yah, to me, they're kinda like the "missing links"??!! => and/or, if I find a coin with a boat "and" an animal on it, it's go-time!!
Steve awesome coin, love the tusks, i'm not sure i'd want a elephant on any boat..What are your top 5 coins???? i love these big pond skippers...
Great coin Jerry, but I think you are buying 'em all up and there won't be any left for me when my wife lets me out of the doghouse.
No-no-no-no-no!! => don't fall for it, man!! ... aahhhhhh!! .... oh well, I'm sure that there'll be a few left-over coins once you escape!!
