[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2299125, member: 72818"]Well, I broke down and opened my gift, rationalizing Saturnalia, just days away from my birthday and an early Christmas (and yes, I always felt a bit 'rooked' as a child because my birthday was only 3 days before X-mas LOL). My 'Secret Santa' is unknown to me except his (or her) return address, which most of you exclude from your CT profiles, unlike me and a few others. The gift was VERY generous and thoughtful, unlike mine to my 'giftee' and I do apologize to him for that. My poor photos do not do justice to this Roman Republic denarius---remarkably, it is also a type I was missing so I LOVE IT!!! The moneyer is Hostilius, circa 48 BC with a laureate head of Pietas on the obverse and Victory on the reverse---such a COOL coin! THANK YOU SANTA!!!!
