[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 6564901, member: 114169"]We have a Patron Saint, and most, like myself, probably didn't even know it! Perusing fleaBay last night (no alcohol this time) I ran across the answer to our prayers. Little did I know that St. Eligius was quietly working in the background on my behalf, getting me outbid on snipes I really didn't need (or could afford) and helping me secure the amazing pieces that I have been fortunate enough to share with y'all. Anyway, when I saw this little token, I knew that I just had to have it and make our Patron Saint a prominent part of my [S] hoard / accumulation [/S] collection. [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1263391[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1263392[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] The obverse features St. Eligius working for a medieval TPG evaluating and grading an ancient coin. The reverse features his title as "Patronus Numismae," the years of his birth and death, and an image of possibly the coin he was grading? Images of the Saint in action, a coin within a coin, he's even on a nice copper chocolate brown octagon planchet. What's not to like? This strike was listed as "vintage," but I'm not so sure. As usual, I bought before I researched, but hey, St. Eligius is watching out for me, right? Just in case you think I'm having the delirium tremens (DT's) again, here is definitive documentation from Wikileaks, I mean Wikipedia . . . . [ATTACH=full]1263404[/ATTACH] Well, I've got to go prepare a shrine and select an appropriate self slab reliquary for ole St. E before he arrives. Gotta start my prayers and supplications for locating that Louis-Oscar Roty medal I am on the lookout for too. Watch out fleaBay'ers. I've got a "higher power" on my side now. Z[/QUOTE]
