This is the last of my February acquisitions. It's nearly as nice as my best of this type. Mark Anthony AR Denarius OBV: ANT AVG III VIR R P C, Praetorian galley, thyrsos behind prow REV: LEG V, eagle between standards Struck at Patrae, 32/31 BC 3.6g, 20mm RSC 32
That coin's a beauty Bing! Love the praetorian galley image. "Ramming Speed!" [video=youtube;WXh1tW16V-8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXh1tW16V-8[/video]
=> "V" So Bing, how many of the versions do you have so far? => man, you must be getting fairly close now, yes? Great addition ... oh, and have a great Sunday night my friend ... :high5:
Not that many. I'm not even close. Anyone out there have a Chortis Speculorum they might want to trade?
iceman: I got busted by the spouse at the end of February. She found out how much I spent on coins that month so I've been in time out since. I might be able to break out and buy something new in April. Maybe. If I'm a good boy.
Oh man, I feel for you. You have to take her out to a nice dinner, serenade her with gifts and compliments to bypass that. maybe.
Nope. Didn't work. We celebrated our 45th anniversary yesterday and I wined and dined her. But I'm still in the dog house.
I don't ever have to worry about that since I am single. But I do have to watch my money as always. Assuming that I meet my goal in money next month, I will be pushing it big time. Won't be getting any pizzas or restaurants all month. Tell your wife I said to give you a break. He deserves a coin for being good all month so far. lol
More wine....with enough wine she will be completing the transaction for you.... I hope you haven't grown to attached to your MA denarius....it is a fine piece.
Remeber the story of noobstiltskin. Show a collector all the coins in one place he could want for super cheap, letem' go nuts, explain the catch. In this case it was his last born MA denarius. Muah ha ha. Bing Ill send ya a line. Hhahahahahah
