Congrats, ro-dawg ... great OP-coin (it's a total winner) Ummm, is it wrong to post the same three coins that I just posted in your neighbour's thread? ... I hope not, because here they come!! Ummm, I ordered them differently, so maybe that'll be acceptable? => congrats again on adding a sweet 2017 offering to your collection Oh, and I think that you have fantastic coin-taste (I always notice your great coins)
And I was just about to start another Trajan thread; but I agree with you: enough Trajan for one day.
