Thanks, Oki

I miss you guys back at The Ranch

I agree. Nice coin Steve, sorry you had to see it go.

I think the rider and generally any muscular male featured on an ancient coin has taken steroids.
At least that is what I tell myself to feel better...

Here is another recent sale ... a cool Elagabalus

peterpil19 · « **Reply #266 on:** March 01, 2018, 03:16:58 am »

Again, a shame you needed to sell them Steve, but pleasing that many appear to have landed in good hands - mine included.

Peter

stevex6 · « **Reply #267 on:** March 01, 2018, 06:45:15 am »

Thanks again for adopting, Peter

stevex6 · « **Reply #268 on:** March 01, 2018, 10:17:59 am »

Man, I had an amazing day of selling yesterday ...

Ditto. That Crawford 14 Aes Grave Sextans (Shell/Caduceus) is on its way to me and will soon be rejoining its former companion, the Wolf and Twins Series AE As, under my custodianship.

stevex6 · « **Reply #270 on:** March 01, 2018, 03:32:32 pm »

Congrats, Carausius ... those are two of my favourites

stevex6 · « **Reply #271 on:** March 01, 2018, 10:05:17 pm »

Sold this funny lil' guy ... Magnentius

stevex6 · « **Reply #272 on:** March 01, 2018, 10:07:34 pm »

stevex6 · « **Reply #273 on:** March 01, 2018, 10:19:15 pm »

stevex6 · « **Reply #274 on:** March 02, 2018, 10:27:01 pm »
