<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2609592, member: 10461&quot;]OK, so this picture post is mostly off-topic, but there <i>are</i> plenty of ancient coins in the picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was taken in [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER]&#039;s library on Halloween- note the Halloween cupcakes in the silver bowl in the foreground.&nbsp; The cupcakes were brought by friend Terry (aka &quot;Asheland&quot; on Collectors Universe), and the bowl has a <a href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/971304/the-lord-marcovan-bowl" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/971304/the-lord-marcovan-bowl" rel="nofollow">story of its own</a>.&nbsp; I sold it to Terry, who collects silver in <i>non</i>-coin form.</p><p><br /></p><p>Terry was the photographer here, so he did not make it into the picture.&nbsp; Also not seen is Greg C (aka &quot;savoyspecial&quot; on CU).&nbsp; Michael [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] is in the red shirt at left.&nbsp; That&#039;s me in the blue shirt on the right, looking a wee bit older and fatter than in my circa-2004 avatar picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Michael&#039;s ancient coin collection is open in front of him.&nbsp; He keeps his sets in nicely customized Dansco albums with pocket pages.&nbsp; My &quot;Eclectic Box of 20&quot; lives in the aluminum box you see open between us.&nbsp; It&#039;s obvious that Michael is examining one of <i>my</i> coins, since the coin he&#039;s peering at through his loupe is in a plastic slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>It was a fun gathering, albeit small, and I just thought y&#039;all might enjoy the picture, is all.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/zp/pfp7mmxfiuzc.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit to add: it is rare that I like a picture that includes me in it.&nbsp; But I think this one has a Norman-Rockwellian quality to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
