So, I messaged him on CT. But he said he was done with CT a bit ago and he wasn't kidding. He even removed his avatar! BURN! (I just removed my avatar as well).
I just sent him an email, but if anyone has a better way to let Doug know about this joint please do!
And a Septimius Severus and family to greet him when he gets here:

I have a Perseus around here somewhere ...
I didn't get it because of the Macedonian shield, though. I bought it because it's got a cool harpa on the reverse:
Perseus, 179-168 BC
Greek AE 14.8 mm; 2.77 g
Macedonia
Obv: Macedonian shield; wheel-ornament in center.
Rev: ΒΑ-ΠΕ above and below harpa, star below.
Refs: Sear Greek 6809; Historia Numorum, p. 235; SNG Cop 1281; Lindgren II (Europe) 1339; Gaebler 12.5.36.All about those Perseus harpas!

You know this is not my area, @Ryro, but I wanted an example in the album to be representative for the type. You helped me in clarifying the attribution.

Bronze Æ Half-bronze unit, (PB, 16) No. v19-0059
16mm, 12 hours. 4.11g. No. 110 in the reference books: Cop.- - Price 2803 pl. 110
Obverse, Three-quarter-front head (Herakles?) to the right placed in the center of a Macedonian shield.
Reverse, Macedonian helmet; in the field on the right, a caduceus; monogram in the left field.I would heart this twice if I could!

Does anyone know Stevex6 and if he'd like to join?
Dude is like the Lenny Bruce to my George Carlin!
(Yes, that fresh faced, short haired man directly to the left of Lenny's ear is a young Carlin also being escorted by police)
If so, please invite him!

Getting this train back on track. Per the title here's a new RR.
A notoriously ugly coin telling a beautiful story... so why the heck spend 3,4 hundo on one? And this one is surprising well centered. Probably part of the reason it circulated so long:
