I can't compete with your wallet, Rudi, but I've started a small collection of budget sestertii, for no other reason than the size and weight of the coins. After fiddling with little LRBs, it's nice to hold a big fat chunk of coin.

It's always awesome to hang-out with the chubby-chasers!! => God-speed, my Wingman-Friend!! (I've got your six!!)
Normally I dont like chubbies... I was in this bar the other night and overheard three very hefty women talking. Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so I approached and asked :'Hello ladies, are you three lassies from Scotland ?'. One of them angrily screeched :'it's Wales, you bloody idiot ! Wales !' So I apologized and replied : 'I'm so sorry. Are you three whales from Scotland ?'. And that's the last thing I remember...
This is a 211 AD coin showing how quickly Caracalla started looking mean after Septimius died. Certainly he would get worse but this is quite a change from the 210 AD coins. It is a definite keeper!
