    Good one zumbly, I like the person holding a severed head on your coin as well, what origin is that coin anyway?

    It's Perseus holding the head of Medusa, her decapitated body lying in the ground gushing blood :mask:. Mithridates VI of Pontos struck these at quite a few of his mints, possibly during one of his wars with Rome. We have a little group here we call the Headless Medusa Club:

    My favorite coins change almost daily but this has been favorite song for almost as long as I can remember. I've seen Grateful Dead, Dylan & Eric Clapton play. I'll take the music from any of these bands.

    We might've blacked out together. I only heard them for the first time a few days ago :D. They have some decent tunes.
