The other day he revealed he loved Hadrian. I don&#039;t have a Hadrian that I want to part with, but I did have a Gordian III from Hadrianopolis (close enough).</p><p><br /></p><p>The poor man met me unsuspectingly today to watch a football game on TV, and as he was focused on the task at hand, he was confronted with the terrible and horrific experience of having an ancient coin shoved in his hands. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I certainly didn&#039;t do him any favors because 15 minutes later he was asking me for dealer recommendations and forum recommendations. <b>We all know where that leads. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie95" alt=":vamp:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]823981[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b>The dark side <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
