Today's offering ... a sweet two-bodied owl (pretty cool, eh?)

stevex6 · « **Reply #428 on:** August 31, 2018, 10:30:18 pm »

Hey, I decided to keep this baby for myself!

Yah, I figured that I'd better keep at least one of my cool coins, eh?

Joe Sermarini · « **Reply #429 on:** September 01, 2018, 10:00:15 pm »

Good. And an excellent choice!

Jay GT4 · « **Reply #430 on:** September 01, 2018, 10:05:35 pm »

Agreed...sweet coin!

Whew! Thank you. I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms!
Awesomeness of the Troas is duly noted, but I especially like the reverse on the Volusian. Excellent detail, very interesting type.

Thanks EB ... you rock

Cheers

Oh, and I also agree that it looks like we could scamper-up that ladder and make our way to the tree-fort on the hill, eh? (definitely a super cool reverse)

PMah · « **Reply #440 on:** September 22, 2018, 10:24:31 pm »

Steve P's enthusiasm should be bottled, or at least be a brunch option.
Why any ambitious office holder would associate with a rat is mystifying at best.
