    Just got back from cutting grass in the RAIN:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

    While I was getting soaked, thanks for all the wonderfull comments!
    Bing/ I probably might end up getting a cold...
    Cucumbor/ One NEVER gets sick of AV/AR/AE coins, I think about them 24/7 esp. when working in miserable weather....like today!
    TJC/ right on.....coins are a window back in time.
    Alegandron/ nicest thing it was not that bad on the budget!
    Mat/ yes the bust is Alexanders/with a bit of Mithradates to boot....strange that a guy like Mithradates would not have used his entire bust!
    Spirityoda/ a love AV the best, but know love AR too!
    Jwt708....good one!
    My next GOAL....to get my first Baktrian coin....

    interesting approach Mr. Witmann, to buy only gold, maybe I should do the same, so 2-3 coin a year only, it also makes my live much more easier, then bronze and silver stuff.
    Probably gold will always do well.
    So you have no around 50 gold one's I think :))

    That panzer-dude seems to be buying at least one gold coin per week lately!! (man, those old Canadian ladies must be paying him a fortune for mowing their grass?!!)

    It might be just really good grass. As far as the coin is concerned splendid.
