What’s up, everybody? Im home with the flu today and am bored stiff! So, I thought I’d post the coin currently on top of my wish list. Of course, it’s Judaean. It’s the 1/8 shekel from the First Jewish War: Feel free to post your current wish list coins or any random coin you’d like. Thanks all! Erin
The flu is bad, no matter what, so take care of yourself. Hmm, a random coin? Let’s see. How about a New Orleans-minted old US gold?
Nice Erin! I have oodles on my wish list... However, would love to upgrade my Heavy Denarius / Didrachm... it be a bit "indistinct"... Saw a recent auction offering, and it is a bit pricey for me right now. This is the one I have now: RR Anon AR Heavy Denarius - Didrachm 275-270 BCE ROMANO Apollo-Galloping Horse Sear 23
The flu certainly is lame, Erin! I hope you feel well soon! Continuing on your Judaean theme, just yesterday I got a delivery of 30 coins from 3 different lots, and each included 7-8 Judaean coins... I bought the lots for the 1-2 non-Judaean coins though, and being a noob in Judaean, @Deacon Ray has kindly accepted my request for assistance in ID-ing them.
Too bad about the flu! I don't really have a wish list. How about the last coins I purchased? THESSALY, Larissa. Circa 450/40-420 BC. AR Drachm, 20mm, 5.9g, 6h. Obv.: The hero Thessalos, with petasos and chlamys hanging around neck, restraining bull left by band held around its head; plant to left and below; TO in exergue. Rev.: ΛΑ / P / IΣA; Bridled horse rearing right within incuse square. THESSALY, Thessalian League. AR Stater, 21mm, 5.7g, 12h; 196-146 BC Obv.: Laureate head of Zeus right. Rev.: ΘEΣΣA-ΛΩN; Athena Itonia walking right, brandishing spear and holding shield; magistrates ΣΩΣI-ΠATΡOΣ above, ΓOΡΓΩΠAΣ below.
Thanks for the coin posts, everyone! They all pwn! Those are some awesome lots, Justin. Have fun with them! Sweet, Orfew! Deacon Ray gifted me with the same coin after I had that disastrous sale at that coin shop. That’s some rocking gold, Santinidollar. That’s a cool heavy denarius, Alegandron. Those are some sweet Greeks, Jwt. I’m feeling better now. Glad I napped through the troll. I’m watching YouTube videos of this couple that spent $20,000 on funky pop mystery boxes and they’re crashing hard. If I had $20,000, guess what I’d do with it. Erin
Seems I'm a bit late but I am glad you're feeling a bit better after your nap. My want list is way too long to post here - one of everything Here is a fun little fish I picked up from @Ken Dorney not too long ago: Zhou Dynasty, 1,046 - 771 BC AE 'Fish Money' measuring 88mm and 16.15 grams. Coole6920ff // G&F pp. ii, iii.
I hope you feel better soon! Here's a prutah from Judaea issued during the reign of Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was procurator of the region. It suffers from the usual centering problems but at least the flan is nice .
Here is the ruler that topped my wish list for most of the 7.5 years so far that I've been collecting ancients. Historically significant coin since he is the first post-Roman ruler of Italy. Odoacer, Kingdom of Italy AE nummus Obv: OD[O-VAC], bare-headed, draped, cuirassed bust right Rev: Odoacer's monogram (letters ODOVA) within wreath Mint: Ravenna Date: 476-493 AD Ref: RIC X 3502
Hope you get better soon Erin. I went and got the flu shot yesterday I sure don't want it. Wish list huh. Well here is 3 that are near the top of my list. Nothing really special but a want none the less.
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! Here is a coins with Askepios and his snake buddy, maybe this dude can send some of his healing mojo your way!!
Dad blamed if I'd get a flu shot. Lord knows what they put in that so called vaccine.......aluminum? Heck, is the thing really relevant for the 'pox' current? Pass, and I'll take NyQuil.......
