    Wow, great looking bunch of coins (all total winners!!)

    The Byzantine goldie is obviously kinda sweet ... I love them all, including the cool Gordian reverse with Babe Ruth (ooops, I mean Hercules and club)

    ;)

    Congrats on a great year of collecting!!

    TIF, that's awesome ... I still have all of my old vinyl from the 70's and 80's (must be 500 sweet ol' albums in storage)

    => curious? ... was that an actual shot of one of your old K-Tel records, or merely a snag from the internet? (I never had that specific gem, but I laughed as I read-through the list of retro-artists ... good times listening to those early introductory collections => usually purchased because I liked one hit)

    ... but that particular example has quite a few very cool artists (Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Faces, etc)

    *ooops* ... I guess we should try to get this thread back on-track, eh?

    Sorry arnoldoe, I didn't mean to be led astray by TIF (she's a bad influence at times)

    ;)

    Snagged from the internet. My old K-tel "22 Greatest Hits" albums are long gone but I remember them well :)
