<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2602461, member: 10461&quot;]Thanks for the validation, y&#039;all.&nbsp; That&#039;s a warm, fuzzy feeling.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is (at least in terms of numismatic/monetary/market value) something of a &quot;downgrade&quot; to my &quot;Eclectic Box of 20&quot; collection.&nbsp; You see, due to some less favorable economic circumstances, I recently found it necessary to sell my <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancient-roman-empire-orichalcum-sestertius-of-hadrian-134-138-ad-ex-boston-museum-of-fine-arts.286585/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancient-roman-empire-orichalcum-sestertius-of-hadrian-134-138-ad-ex-boston-museum-of-fine-arts.286585/">Hadrian sestertius</a> to a friend.&nbsp; While there is a small bit of seller&#039;s remorse attendant with that sale, the money received was much needed, and I also squared up some other old debts with that friend, and will still get to &quot;visit&quot; my Hadrian when I view his collection.&nbsp; And I did OK in the sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>After taking care of my obligations, there was enough left over to purchase this coin as a sort of &quot;consolation&quot; for the sold Hadrian.&nbsp; And it was, as mentioned, a type I&#039;ve always liked, it added a second ancient Greek coin to my small collection, and is now the oldest coin in that collection.&nbsp; So all&#039;s good, I guess.&nbsp; I am content, my friend is happy with the Hadrian at the price he paid, and I was OK with that deal also.&nbsp; Win-win.&nbsp; I&#039;m looking forward to seeing this one.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=42634]@chrsmat71[/USER] - that&#039;s one of my all-time favorite Classic Rock album covers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a bad album, either.&nbsp; This track just came up in my random iPod shuffle a little while ago:</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]2UU62UcP_BA[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
