<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2713317, member: 76194&quot;]So i got my Claudian As today in the mail. Here are some quick photos. Excuse the fabric threads on the obverse, but they are from drying the coin after a gentle soak in Verdi-Care (something I do with all my Ae coins when i first get them).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613156[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]613155[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Compare my images, which i think are very accurate as to what it looks like in the hand, to the auction photos, and needless to say that the coin looks far better than expectations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the auction image:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613159[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I was so exited that I looked around for someone to share the joy with. My son was too busy watching Teen Titans Go and didn&#039;t want to hear me talk about my Roman coins, so he politely declined by telling me &quot;Leave me alone, daddy, no coins!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Luckily though, I have a Shiba Inu named Chippy. So I called Chippy-san over and started to tell him about my coin. To my surprise, he sat down and listened intently. I was so shocked I took a quick picture of the event. I continued to tell Chippy about Claudius, and got about 50 seconds in before he yawned, and went straight to attacking my flip flops (he thinks my flip flops are his chew toys). I was so disappointed. What good is a dog if he won&#039;t listen to you give a 30 minute lecture about your new coin? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Still, it was nice that he sat there for almost a minute listening to me talk about the coin...unless he thought the coin was a snack? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Oh God, no!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613184[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d call my ex-wife, but she already told me she doesn&#039;t want to hear about my coins either, unless I intend to sit on the phone and listen to her tell me about her shoe collection. Needless to say, that&#039;s a price I&#039;m not willing to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Luckily, i remembered you guys. If there is one place where people will hear you talk about your coins, this is certainly the right place. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
