I don't think I have anything to offer on this one...
The Smackdown subjects have been quite specific of late and given that I just have a page of Greek silver and a Page of assorted Romans to choose from that will limit my involvement.
Also given times are hard at the moment I can't get involved with purchasing anything.

Sorry to have been out of the conversation ! I have been shipping a mountain of 'junk' all week in order justify my latest buys. While I am away from home right now I will post something when I get back in the next few hours. Nothing too remarkable ....... Tiny Justinian AE I had listed on ebay last week but 'yanked' with 12 hours to go as it had no bids ........ Didn't feel like letting some sniper snag it for $1.99 ! Carthage mint for $1.99 ? Maybe next time 'Whiz' ! |

Shoot FR! For some reason I completely missed that. I do somehow always get the deals on your listings ;) I haven't been looking to hard these past weeks. Have been saving up for the coin show that is going to roll through town the day before my birthday. Going to get myself a fine birthday present.

Guess it would be uncool to vote for my own coin, huh  Gold: Dutch's Tanit/horse & palm Silver: Marti (Joseph) Tanit/horse & palm (was a tossup, those are both fabulous) Bronze: VK's Maximian My bronze vote could have just as reasonably gone to FR for his Diocletian. Both great coins. (hoping I win, I have a smackdown idea which should be fun and which should be broad enough to allow virtually everyone a chance) |
