<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3355140, member: 19463&quot;]What made it funny was the write up for Gordian included the fact that he was killed by Philip I whose coin this was.&nbsp; The legend is clear and includes PHILIP.&nbsp; Gordian&#039;s coins all include GORDIAN. They are among the most common coins to the point that there was a running joke here for quite a while where Gordians were called &#039;cockroaches&#039;.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]888307[/ATTACH] </p><p>It is sad to have to explain jokes but it seems many of posters here now are new to ancients and/or Coin Talk.&nbsp; The company selling this coin for about double its fair value is E<u>ts</u>y while the last name of a dealer among our most active CT participants is E<u>st</u>y (&#039;Valentinian&#039;) .&nbsp; If you do a Google search for Valentinian&#039;s last name, you will get &quot;Showing results for <i><b><a href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHNQ_en___US808&amp;q=etsy&amp;spell=1&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjH07zZ66rgAhXyqlkKHTe_AMUQkeECCCsoAA" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHNQ_en___US808&amp;q=etsy&amp;spell=1&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjH07zZ66rgAhXyqlkKHTe_AMUQkeECCCsoAA" rel="nofollow">etsy</a>&quot; </b></i>because Google makes a lot of money selling hits to that spelling and assumes you were misspelling that name.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
