Today is my birthday and I've just received some pictures taken these past few days.


Noel (the dog I found on Christmas eve) , Fritz and Twix enjoying another sunny day.

image

My neighbour's 14 year old daughter playing with Noel .

image

Yours truly after a very difficult night, hardly awakened.

image

Syracusian's headquarters: on the wall, a DSL modem, an ISDN modem and a 1938 US mint set.
On the desk, the laptop and various boxes, all filled with coins.

image

And the best for last: Noel eating Fritz alive . It's their favourite game, they do it all day long!

image


OK that's it for now. I'll be back to post the pictures of the coin(s).
I'm afraid that you'll have to trust my choice until thenimage. There will be one winner and a runner up.Just post to enter.

    Happy Birthday.

    So is the 1938 set the prize. It certainly isn't your birth year.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Thank you all. image

    Fritz doesn't look that happy in that picture, but I promise you he's enjoying this more than the dog.
    My cat is into SM stuff ! image Really though, he's the coolest cat I've ever had,
    and I have 6-8 of them living in my small garden at any given time for the past 15 years
    (different almost every year, old ones die or get lost, new ones arrive).
    He doesn't know what fear or jealousy is.



    << <i>Efticharismena Gennethlia! >>



    Almost there Bill, I appreciate the effort ! You all need lessons from danglen I think image : "Eftichismena gennethlia "

    And hoardmonster, happy birthday to your sister. You must be a very patient man if you've put up with her all these years. image

    Here's the giveaway. It took me some time to decide, because it's very difficult to locate a decent Greek coin for a giveaway.
    This one is from the Ionian islands, the last year they've minted coins, 1862,
    a tiny red copper 1 lepton with a lion on the obverse and Britannia on the reverse. KM 34

    image

    Now here's the bad news:
    the coin came in touch with a drop of water at some time and there's a distactive stain on the reverse (Britannia side)
    and for this reason ANACS graded it as UNC details/ AU50 net.
    This coin came as a gift to me and I've held on to it until I was able to locate a better specimen.
    It happened two months ago with an MS63RB but this one is more red.
    It's time to pass it on and I hope that the winner will enjoy it.

    Two runners up. They'll receive an IOM motorcycle crown,pictured below.
    One has a Honda 1967 with Mike Hailwood driving it and the other features the famous Bob MacIntyre on a 1957 Gilera.



    image



    Finally all three will receive a 1984 drachma from a roll.
    I'm unable to upload Darkhorse's superb picture of it, but it's a little eye candy.
    You can click here and see it.

    I'll wait for more entries and draw the winners in a couple of days.
    The 1938 US mint set was my "desktop" coin set. I chose this year to be able to have a buffalo, a mercury and a walker in one year,
    and still be affordable. It kept me some great company (I love "desktop" coins - people come and ask what it is) but it's been sold last week.
