Glad to see you back Peter

Thanks Jay.
My collecting days are drawing to a close unfortunately, but a surprise kicker in my tax return has allowed me to buy something a little nicer... stay tuned!

Can’t say I’ve noticed coins with dual equestrian sides before. I like it.

By the way, any chance either you or jay - fine gentlemen that you are - would be willing to post a new gallery of the year poll for 2023?

You still haven't Ron, as the reverse is actually a very scrawny bull. It doesn't look very bovine, but his head is turned toward you in a butting posture.

As far as the Gallery of the Year goes, it very difficult to do and keep up with without a real computer. Currently I only have my cell, so I  say go for it!  😉

This tiny coin was offered for no more than the cost of dinner, so I had to go for it. I think it's kinda nice with the full crest helmet. What d'you think?

I think that it's a lovely coin and for the cost of a dinner, probably a bargain. Congrats!

Thanks Tracy.
Yeah, too pretty to pass up.

Here's my latest, a small bronze from Forvm Auctions...

I'm still trying to get my mind into disposal mode, but after 36 years of collecting ancients it's very difficult. I've never really hoarded these coins, and every one was hand selected with love, regardless of price range. So which of your children do you sell first?
In any case I couldn't let this one go for mere fast-food money, and I didn't have an Aphrodite. I can resist anything but temptation!
However it is, as the old cliché goes, 'much nicer in hand'. No, really.  😉
