[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 4553204, member: 77226"]It's Saturday night! What are you working on? For me, it's a slow couple weeks for coins but crazy personally. I live in Minneapolis. There has been a lot of unrest in my neighborhood the last weeks. This is a coin forum... so I won't delve more into those current events other than saying that living with a 3-year old and a 1-year old in the midst of the chaos of the first 4-5 days was stressful. The reason I mention where I live is that my local post office was burnt down and several of my recent purchases were sacrificed to the cause (and fire) meaning a slow few weeks. Nothing grand or expensive was lost, so whatever it's cool. In the grand scheme of things, coins are not important. I did have a cheap one run the gauntlet and make it to my mailbox. I bought this Probus in spite of the corrosion on the obverse because otherwise it was pretty sharp and cheap (around $10 with shipping). Also, the emperor's attire on the reverse is interesting as well. It almost looks like he's wearing pants. Check it out.
