Wow @stevex6 that is a bad-ass coin, congrats. I've only one Macedonian head of an ass, hemiobol. Its an old pic, I know Steveo likes coin photos. It's a bad photo. It's actually a little better that it looks.
Good luck getting one, unfortunately. There are probably a hundred collectors who could and would outbid me on one. Alternatively, how are you at defeating alarms and cracking safes? The ANS has some. (picture taken by a friend, who unfortunately didn't put them in his pocket and mail them to me )
Those are beautiful examples. Butt..... I mean But.... What could have been the motivation for using it on your coins? What where the fine folks of 6th Century BC Athens trying to say with this?
well, all the good ass jokes have been used already. so i have nothing to contribute here. well, congrats on a cool new coin stevex!
Lovely coin lil bro. I thinks its befitting that you should own this coin with an ass (jokes my friend, just jokes). I DO love the coins however.
Nice coin. I like to use your title when showing newcomers my coins. My half asses are mostly semis, but not all - I showed a couple last year - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tw...in-the-second-century-bc.287950/#post-2593467 A cast As and a cast half As = Semis -
ahahaha => awesome coin-responses and thanks for the very cool coin examples (Smojo, rrdenarius) ... I always appreciate seeing the coins of my coin-hommies! Oh, and TIF => your stuff is always a good time (thanks for finding those cool back-half-of-the-ass examples) .... obviously, they're now on the pinnacle of my coin wish-list!!
Ummm, well I have a couple more ass-examples ... oh, and "Mules" are close-enough to asses in my threads Sicily, Messana, AR Drachm Diva Julia Titi, AE Sestertius
Hey! I have one of those too! I got it for the cool Mule scene also... (I KNOW it is a biga - 2 mule team. But the effect makes it look like an EIGHT-LEGGED MULE!) RI Julia Flavia Titi Diva 90-91 CE d-Titus concubine-uncle Domitian AE Sestertius 33mm 20.4g - Carpentum 2 mules SPQR - SC rare
