However, I'm totally joking ... Honestly => I "never" regret buying big, healthy, cool coins like these bad-boys ... they're exactly what I think an ancient coin should look like, ya know? => these two dawgs, were money well spent!! => arrrrggghhhh!   |

Nice coins Steve. I don't have a Sestertius yet.
Have you ever wondered what Salus is feeding that snake?

Steve, very nice examples--the portraits are especially strong!  I hope you don't try "pond-skipping" these two, but if you do...aim towards my beach.  |

Hmmm? ... ummm, maybe that's why I thought these coins looked purdy? => apparently they look like engineers!! ... yah, I'm an engineer ... yah, I know ... *whateva* (don't judge me)  |

Doucet => you're right ... hmmm, I wonder what is being fed to the snake? (it doesn't look like a small rodent) ... => it actually looks like it might be some sort of disc ... ummm, maybe it is an egg? (that makes sense, yes?)   |

Love 'em Steve! You come up with some real nice coins. I too like the fact they are so large. These puppies are eye catchers! |

Antoninus Pius is your favorite Emperor? ... really? ... ... wow, jessvc1 ... => yah, I'm sorry, but I don't know close to "enough" about the religious-history behind this coin, so "I" don't get the extra-interest that you get (you're far luckier than I am in that respect) ... I'm totally jealous!! ... and a bit interested!! |

oh my god => I just re-looked at those two, big, fat, golden coins and thought to myself: "myself, those are two, mighty-fine, big, fat, golden coins" ==> jessvc1 ... I will treat them as if they are my favourite, well-behaved children (don't fret) => you can be their god-father (if in doubt, they will fall into your custody) Edited by stevex6
