Hmmm? ... I'm a bit coin-bored, so I figured that I'd post a couple of soothing dog-family-photos

=> yup, it's almost feeling like Spring, eh? => it's already warmed-up to -11 degrees Celsius! (T-Shirt weather)

Wow Jay, Toronto sounds tropical

Sadly, it's usually the end of "May" before they finally open-up our northern, snow-covered golf course

=> hey, only 2 months away! (yippeeeee!)

That Galeria Valeria is fantastic! Great addition

Wonderful snow pictures as well, we never see snow here and are already in the mid 80s.

Thanks, gang ... I'm glad that I've managed to keep you entertained (coins and life are a pretty sweet mix, eh?)

Cheers, my coin-friends

Thanks for your concern, Peter Murphy (Ancient Aussie) .... yes, I am feeling okay lately (my lungs are still screwed-up, but that is certainly not stopping my vino consumption)

=> oh, and I hope that you are doing well

Enodia ... I saw what you did there (Peter Murphy being the lead singer from Bauhaus)

Yeeeeehaaaaa!!

=> yup, I added "two" cool gallery examples today ... wanna see 'em?

-

Lucania, Metapontion, AR Nomos
400-340 BC
Diameter: 20.48 mm
Weight: 7.67 grams
Obverse: Head of Demeter
Reverse: Barley ear, ME right
References:
Other: Sweet Reverse

CLAUDIUS AE As
Rome mint
41-42 AD
Diameter: 25.5 mm
Weight: 11.1 grams
Obverse: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP. Bare head at left
Reverse: S-C across field, Minerva standing right, brandishing spear and holding shield on left arm
Reference: RIC I 100
Other: full details on both sides until the last letter (very difficult in this issue) ... nice portrait of the emperor ... excellent dark & desert patina

Yah, I liked several things about both of these great coins ... it is always hard to get rid of coins that I've hunted in a previous situation ...

The Lucania is a nice, big silver winner with a fantastic barley reverse ... the coin has great presence in hand

Oh, and the Claudius is also very cool ... yes, it is "real" desert-patina, so that alone makes it awesome (plus, it's a nice big heavy As pocket-winner)

Blayne W · « **Reply #672 on:** March 29, 2019, 10:46:26 pm »

Those are both awesome. I still have a thing for the desert patina, and of course being Canadian I have a thing for barley.i think I will have a beer tonight to toast those two great coins!

stevex6 · « **Reply #673 on:** March 30, 2019, 06:06:54 pm »

Nice!!

=> that's the spirit, Blayne (you rock, my awesome Canuck coiner!)

Thanks, yah I like both of those coins ... thanks for responding (I "love" when you guys leave some coin feedback)

=> that's what it's all about, yes? ... I love being able to show-off and talk about my coins with people who have a bit of a clue (oh, and you guys seem to be the Pinnacle of the coiners ... I honestly appreciate whenever you guys toss-in the odd scrap of coin knowledge)

Cheers

Awesome Steve. I was thinking about the Lucania for a long time... snooze you loose I guess.
