Optimus coming back
« on: December 27, 2020, 12:50:15 pm »
Greetings to all!

I was active on this board under the name OPTIMUS for many years until about 2010 life gave me different priorities, so for about decade I was not actively pursuing our hobby. My account here was also deactivated though, if you search in the members gallery under the owner name Optimus, you will still find my coins. I attach some snapshots here and I am sure that some of the members who have been active here for many years will recognize them.  :)  A direct link does not work because they will need to be associated to my new account.

In the last couple of years I started rediscovering the inherent beauty of coins and, with the kind help of Joe, reactivated my account, so hopefully you will have me back.  ;) I am looking forward to many interesting discussions and to seeing many beautiful coins.

Finally, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and lots of health and success in 2021!

Welcome back! Like you, I had been largely dormant since around 2010 and recently started collecting again :)  Not sure why I didn't think to look up my old deactivated account and ask for reactivation.  Oh well, I didn't have a gallery then anyhow :)

Looks like you have a great collection and lots to offer :)

Thanks Ron, I do remember you  :) There is always space to improve our collections and now the lockdown gives us some more time to spend on them.   :)

Welcome back. I remember you well, and several of your coins can still be found in the BOT and Coins from Members' Personal Ancient Coin Galleries galleries I think.

Thanks Alex, indeed the coins are still there. Meanwhile I sold a few of them but I also got a couple of new ones. ;) I do remember our interesting discussions.
