Thanks for the fruit, Eng ...

Hey, what is the West Coast weather doing?

Yah, the Syracuse coins seem to contain a whole lotta sea-animals:

dolphins

scallops

octopus

hippocamps (well, if they actually existed!!)

Yo I almost bought that coin! Nice find, the octopus was calling to me too. Great mind think alike. I did opt for the Bactrian coins instead.

Yall looking at the octopus, but the icing on this cake is the straight on archaic eye and the what I think is a Phoenician legend!

Great coin. I was looking at a few of these earlier today in far worse shape. Not cheap by any means.

Well, I'm glad that you guys all decided to skip by this pound-puppy and buy different coins!!

... I decided that this lonely little coin needed a good home, so I adopted it ...




Thanks for all of your coin compliments, gang ...
