[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2913455, member: 72818"]Amazingly, I just caught this thread today and I LOVED all the posts!!! Please consider ALL 'liked' to the highest degree!! I'm racing toward my 67th birthday and early retired at 62. I'm currently living on Long Island, NY. Like so many others of my generation, the draft played a major role in my life, convincing me to join the Air Force by February 1970 after my second 1-A pre-induction physical and spending the next four years working as Security Police K-9. Taking advantage of my VA benefits, after military separation, I attended College/University earning a Masters in Public policy/International Relations and then spent my last working decade in private industry. And like so many of us, I was always fascinated by History and finally started collecting Modern and Ancient coins by the late 1980's, selling them and returning to collecting 'Ancients'---as a generalist---January, 2015. Among many other things, this coin represents my primary interest in Ancients---the time period and all that followed in the centuries yet to come; Siculo-Punic: Silver tetradrachm, Jenkins Punic 394 (O120/R322); SNG CopVIII 91; Dewing 983; SGCV II 6438; HGC 2 295, NGC Choice VF, strike 4/5, surface 5/5 (3819620-001), Sicilian mint, weight 17.03g, maximum diameter 23mm, die axis 225o, 300 - 289 B.C.; obverse head of Herakles right, clad in lion's scalp; reverse horse's head left, palm tree behind, Punic inscription MHSBM (paymasters) below.
