Great group of steve's coins! Man, I'd like to pick up a few of his coins, I've been admiring them for years, but Steve played in the majors...and my budget usually keeps me in the minors.

Love that multicolored AP drachm!

Love "ducks in love"!

Love Caracalla's "sea monkey navy boat"!

and that Titus reverse...oh man...LOL!!!!!!!

 

Memorable purchases, and a memorable post too!

Here's to Steve!!

 

Those are two nice stories. I think it's a great privilege to be the caretaker of some of Steve's coins.
And through how @TIF told us how you have that lot bought together, we can imagine all the fun you've had at it

Congrats

Couldn’t agree more, Q. I have a lot of fun memories associated with those coins.

 

Great coins Z!! Lots of eye candy and good memories!

 

I haven't had internet for the last few days and cell service has been worse than usual . I'm missing so much here on CoinTalk and I miss my coinfriends!

Your ex X6 haul is fantastic! I love them all, particularly the Eion and the Caracalla.

I loved Steve's "hover goats" when he bought it and looked for one of my own-- not sure if I've posted it yet or not. It was from pre-hurricane days when I could buy a lot of coins.

I remember when you bought this one, and actually yours was the inspiration for me to buy Steve’s, so I guess the things have come full circle .

 

Number one looks really nice all coins look to be in great condition.
