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)
