    My most recent impulse buy [emoji23] where do I start !

    I got this the other day. A good few years back now I bought one in F condition and loved it although it had some serious rim dings its still cool. But I thought to myself next time a decent grade comes up and I have the funds I'll buy it. Well last week that day came.

    This Alexander III tetradrachm was such an impulse buy. I went into a coin shop to buy $5 worth of coin flips, and came out with this instead.

    And this denarius of Julia Domna was also an impulse buy. I was shopping for an early Roman Republic denarius and came across this instead. Before I even had time to think whether I should buy it, I had already bought it.

    And last in my list of impulse buy is this M. Cipius M. F. denarius. I went to a dealer's website to buy an Alexander Severus denarius, and came across this coin while starting to browse the site. I hit the order button so fast and so many times that one would have been forgiven for thinking my hand was having a nervous tick.

    Haha, when I started reading this, I thought it was going to be four pages long of impulse buys. Great choices!

    Haha, the slab alone makes it worth it. I wonder who the poor fool was who sent that in??
