Veterans Day thoughts and coins

After work today I thought about what today is, and remembered all the things available to veterans today.
First stop was a badly needed oil change. I mean all I had to pay for was the oil filter, yes.

As I sat there I started to think about my recent JA purchase.

And now I sit waiting for my wife to get ready so we can go eat, Applebee's, yumm.

Still thinking about this coin,
A sweet As Domitian

Nice coin and thank you for your service!


Thanks,

Nice coins, that's one of the best Syrian Domitian As that I have seen, we in Aus had our remembrance day yesterday.

 

Thanks and thanks.
I usually wait until the 2nd day and was a little shocked no one had bid on it. I wanted it enough I would've bid anyway and my coin choosing and buying has been rather slim as of late.
I had been looking for a nice Domitian As for my collection, this fit nicely.

 

Indeed, thank you to our veterans for their service. A few CONCORDIA MILITVM coins and a FIDES MILIT coin seem an appropriate share here. The first (reverse only) is Marius. The rest are Carausius.

 

Here's my favourite Domitian As. Virtus , a (female) soldier ,stands for courage.

 

That is a very nice eastern As and what a denarius too.. and happy day fellow vets all round

 

I definitely value all veterans for their sacrifices. I don't have any input on the Ancient coins, not my expertise ha ha

 

Thank you for your service.

 

Thank you for your service.

 

If I can find where I put the piece that broke off, I'll have to try the super glue fix.

Thanks all for the replies and cool coins

 

I have seven family members that fought in WW2. One in the Afrika Korps/ 3 in the SS Panzer Divisions/ 2 U-Boots/ 1 in the Navy....only one was decorated with the Knight's Cross.
All survived the conflict, five of them, are still living back in Germany. Of those five/ 3 are avid stamp collectors/ two are into Ancients/Medieval coins

As veterans, we get lots of free stuff today which is a nice perk of being a veteran. Although not tied to being a veteran, @Sallent gifted me a nice Valentinian coin that arrived already, but I don't yet have pics, and @Victor_Clark sent me six coins. I will get pics posted as soon as I can.


A big THANK YOU! To both of them!

 

Oh, did that baby break on you?!.. i feel your pain as i had one do that too.. i sent it back, but it hasn't left my memory one bit!

 

..where's mine?!?..course i get medical and i've only been out 37 years

 

Thank you for your service.

 

Well usually small businesses express their gratitude with a free cup of coffee or a discount.

 

Oh ok.. well, we vets appreciate that!...

 

My bidness is Veteran Owned.

 

and thank you all for thanking us
