<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 8111054, member: 41219&quot;]I have finished (poorly) photographing the coins that came from my Secret Saturnalia, [USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER] . So here goes!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1411314[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The package has been sitting on the front table for better part of a week testing my and the tadpoles&#039; patience. Finally, today was the day! The two older ones had barely walked in the door before we started opening the package. </p><p><br /></p><p>Blown away is one way to describe it...Orliensis did an amazing job! He even generously included coins for the tadpoles!</p><p><br /></p><p>My present was a great historical piece that is way out of my collecting realm but not my historical interest. It couldn&#039;t have come at a better time either, since I just finished listening about the Peloponnesian War on the &quot;History of Ancient Greece&quot; podcast! Not only is it super cool from a historical perspective, it also has some beautiful blues and golds on the reverse. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1411313[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There were also two folles from the Tetrarchy and 2 Greek coins for the tadpoles. The two older kids picked out their favorites and the youngest got to choose his as well. Since tadpole #4 isn&#039;t due for another month and half, he will just have to wait to lay claim to his coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the 2 oldest with their coins. Couldn&#039;t get the little one to stand still for a picture.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1411321[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And here are the pictures:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1411317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1411320[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1411318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1411319[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now we get to spend the weekend working on identifying them. They have labels but we love working on identifications together! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you again, [USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER], for such an awesome Secret Saturnalia gift!</p><p><br /></p><p>Io Saturnalia![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
