[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2274733, member: 76194"]Today I was walking in Coral Gables, Florida when all of the sudden it started raining. I saw the coin shop nearby and ran in to ride out the rain. [I][U][B]I made it clear that I would be buying nothing[/B][/U][/I], but since I was stuck there, I would like to take the opportunity to browse the ancient coins. I saw a denarii of what I thought was Emperor Antoninus Pius, and I told the salesperson: [B]Me:[/B] "Shame I'm buying Nothing, because that Antoninus Pius would help me get closer towards putting together a set of the five good Emperors." [B]Salesperson:[/B] "Well, that's not a problem at all, that's Emperor Nothing!". [B]Me:[/B] "Kind of looks like Emperor Antoninus Pius to me." [B]Salesperson:[/B] "Look again, Emperor Nothing and Antoninus kind of look the same, but it is indeed Emperor Nothing, so you can purchase this coin without breaking your word." Well, I did want to be the kind of person who keeps his own word, so I purchased Nothing. After all, the last thing I want to be accused of is not keeping my promises. So without further adieu, here is Nothing. I know it looks a lot like Antoninus Pius, and one could be easily mistaken,but I hear that's just because Nothing was the long lost twin of Antoninus. Edit: I asked if I should brighten it a bit, but decided against cleaning it at all. [ATTACH=full]453713[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
