Thats why, when I see groups of 'common' coins, I hoard them. I still think Byzantine scyphate cup coins will have their day....
Sweet score, JA => congrats!! ummm, for $25 any "one" of those coins would probably be a steal, but all three => cha-chinnngg, well played me frugal friend!! Hey, apparently you really have the "gold-hue" turned-up high on your photos!!? (they all look like they're sweet, AU examples ... but very, very sweet photos) ... hey, next week is apparently the first day o' Spring? => it was -40 degrees this morning (what fricken planet am I livin' on? ... what a horrible winter, eh?)
Thanks Steve - I took the pics in bright sunlight, and there's too much glare, but I don't have the time to re-shoot them till Monday.
Ahahaha, JA => you must have me mistaken for somebody who should be allowed to make photography comments!! (man, I absolutely suck at that side of our coin-world) I like "both" sets of photos ... the good ol' goldies had their place too, but thanks => your new set of photos are amazing!! (well done, brother)
I've been skiing for the past few days, it was 30 degrees. I was thinking of you the whoooooole time.
