One Last One Before I Go...

Mrs. Frog had her doctor appointment this morning and the doctor said that it was time for baby to come. We are finishing our last meal at home as a family of 5 and then my wife and I are off to the hospital.

The tadpole is early and a bit small so to say we are stressed is an understatement. Trying to distract myself while at the hospital with some coins.

The mail came early today, thankfully, and the last coin I had ordered was in the box. I got it for my daughter since she loves horses/unicords/pegasus etc...I like him for the glorious neckbeard.


Gallienus, Sole Reign
AE Antoninianus.
260-268 AD
Rome
Obverse: GALLIENVS AVG, radiate head right
Reverse: SOLI CONS AVG, Pegasus springing right, heavenward. Mintmark H

Keep calm daddy. Here’s my funniest coin. I heard the engraver was executed not very long after this last « job »….

 

Congratulations! Lemme see what I have to keep you occupied.

 

How exciting! I hope it's smooth sailing .

Sailing... hmm, here's a boat:


PHOENICIA, Tyre. Julia Maesa

Good luck!

 

All the best, ff! In ancient Egypt, Heqet the frog goddess was in charge of gifting women a smooth and easy delivery of their tadpoles...

CLAUDIUS

Congrats, Frogman! Hope all goes well...

 

Good luck to Ms. Frog and yourself. May the tadpole's arrival be uneventful and joyous!

 

Just an interesting array of some of my favorite coins for you to see. The first quarter is a small rim cud. My best Franklin half. And a high grade W quarter

 

A few more CRH finds. Are the 1970 Pennie’s large dare or small date?

 

Trying to find a coin with a cigar on it. Maybe one that is shaped like a cigar...an elongated coin.

 

I have all faith that all will be well with your wife and the new tadpole.

 

Last but not least….some world coins with animals on them and some nice Cuban coins

 

Fun fact: the "BA" on the reverse of Macedonian shield coins stands for "Baby"
All my very best.

 

Trust all will go well.

Here's a 1964 NZ Penny for you to examine

 

Best wishes to you and the Mrs, and don't blink - kids grow up way too quickly!

 

You might like to examine a planchet flaw on this 1922 GB Sixpence

 

All the Best to your wife, yourself and your family.

Everything will go very well; you'll be all home again very soon.

Better you distract yourself with coins at the hospital, 'cause once you are home you'll probably be too busy with the new baby

 

Between cats,pups,and kids.....this should be normal around Furry Frogs home. LoL you had me wondering if your not planning to field a baseball team after the Navy retirement.
LoL .....keep us posted... so we can help welcome the new catcher....
