captainyesterday555 Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 10:50 pm Nice coins! I really like the definition on that Claudius Gothicus. The eagle would also go nicely in my budding menagerie theme. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 11:13 pm I am in it for the Gordian Tetradrachm. Awesome coin. Is it really that pink color in hand? Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4971 Posts	Posted 03/23/2015 12:23 am thanks for the comments folks, I appreciate it. AN, yes it is. I really tried to get a pic that showed the color as close as possible to "in hand". I haven't seen anything quite like it. also, the gordian iii is featured on wildwinds, here it is with the original pic from the seller...who is a coin buddy of mine. http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/gord...3357_var.jpg Edited by chrsmat71 03/23/2015 12:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
