Happy Birthday, Steve!

Happy Birthday Steve. I hope I can lift your spirits a bit with this.......





Cheers Brother........

 

Happy birthday Steve.

 

Well my coins would just make you yawn, so I'll just say happy birthday to you and go back to handling my coins by the edges in my dark corner.

 

I hate when that happens.

 

Happy Birthday!



Diocletian, Antioch, post-reform radiate fraction.

That was hilarious! Might have been the best video I've seen today.

 

Green - I never knew! Is that yours?

 

Very nice radiate from Antioch, one of the scarcer mints for these.

 

Wow another year and you haven't gotten booted off the forum, just stay away from the goat coins. Happy Birthday Steve..

 

Ok. A coin I am fairly confident I haven't posted here before....

Julius Caesar, denarius

Mint in Africa. 47-46 BC.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEX!

on the wagon during your BD...man, that's harsh. if my birthday were today i'd be in the same boat, 0 money to spend on coins right now.

here are some animal coins i haven't posted for a while .....











and since it's your birthday i'll throw in a princess leia...

 

I always wanted to be attracted to Princess Leia, but she looks too much like my sister. You know how that is...

 

Too many Ptolemies for me not to toss one up...



My newest. It has a few issues but is still nice to look at.

 

Happy Birthday little brother. Wow, 52 years old. I('ll bet there are some who would have bet you would never make it this far. BAM! Proved them wrong.


Oh, since you like Princess Leia, just for you:

 

I'm not sure how you define issues, but this coin has no issues in my book. The mineral deposits are very eye-appealing, if that's what you mean. The strike and preservation are excellent. Also, it's got the curious and interesting quadruple dimples. It was placed incorrectly on the lathe, then re-centered. That's a pretty cool error.

 

Steve likes animals coins..Happy Birthday Steve..

 

In hand you can see - what I think are - light cleaning scratches. In this photo they're somewhat visible benching the eagle's left wing. Also I front of the nose o he obverse and below the neck...the encrustrations are fine and I like this one a lot.
