Oh, and I forgot to tell you => "please don't mention his lack of nose!!" (he is very sensitive)

 

Lucky, hes one I want bad but other wants have been higher. Nice one!

 

This is a very nice, most have a lot of wear, good details, got the Eagle to boot, another Stevex great pickup..:thumb:

 

Steve, i can't get on your Serpent thread, some can't get on my Ancient gold thread,what's up..

 

Well Eng ... hey, I'm not 100% sure, but I have a fairly strong hunch that if you give me your new Goldie-coin, then everything will return back to "normal"


:yes:

 

Just jokes, my retired West Coast friend .......


=> yah, a lot of folk are having a "Database Error" message (don't worry, stay where you are and someone will come and give you free coins)


... ah, ya caught me ... nobody is gonna give you free coins, my friend (well, not unless you give me that new Goldie coin of yours!!)

 

"I pity da foo' who don't collect ancients!"
Nice coin, Steve!

 

Oh, but here Eng => here is what you're missin' ........ sweet mother of God, eh?!!

 

Man that's my bucket list coin, maybe we could trade that two headed ar coin..:yes:

 

I'm thrilled that you like my new coin, but ...

I'm very sorry my good friend, but just earlier this morning I had this coin surgically attached to my chest => it is now "who I am"


=> I AM "BYZANTINE MAN"

 

Hey Bi-guy. These are marvelous looking coins (JUST IN THE WRONG HANDS). Congrats on the pickup bi-guy.

 

Nice newp Steve!

 

Another good looking coin. I've been slacking lately on coins but it looks like you're filling in for me nicely.

 

*bump*


... I felt sorry for Mo (he seemed to slip outta the spot-light too quickly, so I'm giving him one more chance to strut his stuff)

 

Mr. T's crown, chains and clothes look great. Well played Steve!

 

See ... yah, that's the spirit!! (thanks Noob)

 

Okay ... yah ummmm, sorry Doug ... this may not exactly be "your thing"?


... today, I went to our annual Canada Day golf, croquet-n-drink party .... it was clear skies and 80+F degrees



=> enjoy!! (I love you dudes ... I wish you were here!!)








.... all in all, wow what a great day!!!

 

Nice ... as you can see

=> apparently after our round of golf, I changed into my Batman Boxers and started drinking my beers out of a fish-bowl wine-glass!!

... oowwww, my head is telling me that was "not" a great idea!! (but it sure seemed fun at the time!!)

Canada Day party, eh?

 

Nice coins, and the party looks like it was fun too!
