    ... oh, those last two are cast AE examples from Sicily (Selinos leaves)

    => they're amongst the oldest AE coins (pretty cool) ... 450-440 BC

    Hey coiners, I decided to slip-on my sweet stat-holiday avatar!! (always a winner)

    Amazingly/awesomely => my dear ol' Dad is still alive and well at 93 years old!!

    He was a decorated bomber pilot in WWII, so I want to send out special thanks to any of the other coiners who are vets, or who are kids of vets .... thank you

    As a Viet Nam vet I thank you, this is my wife's favorite picture of me in uniform. It was Basic Training and I wasn't involved in any violence. I was a Combat Medic and I saw enough to last me a lifetime.

    @TheMont Thanks for your service from an old army vet. I was a Phoenix Advisor in Vietnam on a three man team down in the Delta IV Corps.
