Since I joined the Forum, April 28, 2017 I have been amazed at the kindness and generosity of the members of the Forum, both in sharing comments and "likes" as well as sending me gift coins. Thank you all so much. And I wish to express all of the good wishes of the Holiday Season to you. So Happy Holidays to All and I hope everyone finds something numismatic under the tree!
I wish everyone more of the same! Merry Christmas to all who will be celebrating it and a Happy, Healthy New Year to everyone! If you're traveling, please go carefully!
Having joined the same month as Ancient Coin Hunter I can only reiterate his comments. It's been a real pleasure and I have learnt so much. Happy Holidays to everyone and all best wishes for the New Year. This would be an ideal time to see some coins featuring Janus. I don't have one but I am sure there are plenty to be shown.
