Extremely thoughtful and overly generous – amazing! </p><p><br /></p><p>Some time ago I wrote a post about my weird relationship with the book “Coinage in the Roman World” by Andrew Burnett. I purchased a copy a few years ago – and was only a couple of chapters in (and thoroughly enjoying it) when I had an uncle come visit and stay with me for a few days. He showed great interest in my coins – so I sent him home with a few LRBs and the book. About a year later I purchased another copy and left the darn thing in a hotel room in Pittsburgh after a work trip.. again only a couple of chapters in!!</p><p><br /></p><p>You guessed it – here is the first thing I noticed when I opened the box today!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1219467[/ATTACH] </p><p>Needless to say – I will ensure the 3rd time is a charm.. it is not leaving my house!!</p><p><br /></p><p>As if that wasn&#039;t enough a wide range of coins was included: ancients, medieval and modern.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Russian wire money: Ivan &quot;The Terrible&quot;, Feodor I, Michael I and Peter The Great:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1219468[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Next, these highlights:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1219470[/ATTACH] </p><p>(the bag is a selection of LRBs)..</p><p><br /></p><p>And an excellent assortment of very interesting modern coins..
