<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 6959253, member: 14873&quot;]I have been waiting for you to post this pic of your breath taking “three sisters” sestertius, IOM - the finest example of this iconic Roman Imperial coin I have ever seen!</p><p><br /></p><p>It is time for me to explain why I address you as IOM in my posts instead of “Ides Of March” (your CT user name): no disrespect is intended. It is because of a personal nostalgia association: my favorite holiday and sports event location (TT motor cycle races) in the post World War 2 years (1946-1950) was the Isle of Man, which was&nbsp; officially abbreviated to IOM for addressing correspondence envelopes, etc. It seems I was continually addressing envelopes (to book lodgings, order Manx kippers, obtain TT races schedules, maintain contact with “holiday sweethearts”, etc.) But that was many years (decades) ago and I had not written IOM since - until recently here on Coin Talk! It feels so good to write it again. So I am afraid your CT user name will be IOM to me unless you object of course![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
