Happy b-day

 

Happy b-day. Need her myself but waiting for the right one & price.

 

It's a great coin with abundant detail, Gil. A tough issue - for me the important features are the hand of God on the obverse and a complete shield on the reverse. Yours has both, plus a full mint mark. Great choice.

 

Happy Birthday, Gil. Nice pick up!

 

Happy Birthday, Gil-galad (Daryl) ...

Ummm, I very recently scooped-up an example as well ... yah, like 10 minutes ago!!

=> well, it has been in my sights for the last couple of years, but I thought that I'd wait until it was your B-day, as well as being Caracalla's B-day ...

Very nice coin there, Steve. Great way for me to have even a better celebration with excellent Eudoxia coins! Eng, your coin is also very good. Very nice coin bros.

What's awesome is that my birthday is actually on Sunday. The premier day of Game of Thrones. At last, it's here! Couldn't fall on a better day.

 

Thanks JA. That's exactly what I was looking for when I picked it up. There were a couple to choose from that just appeared on the market. I got the best one from that dealer.

 

You'll find one, one day. The price on this one was ok, not a super deal but about spot on. I asked for a discount on it and received. I got it for $30.

 

Ha! Mine is on Saturday (tomorrow).

 

Happy birthday, V!

 

Happy Birthday vlaha. I hope you get the coin of your dreams.
