Benefactor kirispupis Posted November 22, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted November 22, 2023 Recently, I wasn't home when one of my packages arrived, so the next morning I took the slip to the post office and retrieved my coin. I haven't photographed that exact coin yet (and it deserves its own story), but here's a similar one to show off. Islands off Attica, Salamis circa 350-318 BCE Æ 15 mm, 1,94 g Head of nymph Salamis right, wearing stephane / Shield of Ajax, on which [sword in sheath], [ΣA]-ΛA across fields BMC 1, 2; SNG Copenhagen 455; Kroll-Walker 214, 640 Anyways, I took the coin to work and, to keep it safe, placed the slip neatly in my wallet. I then set about my work until maybe an hour or two I needed to visit "the facilities". As I was sitting on the toilet, a thought occurred to me. It's probably been over 2300 years since someone took a dump while this coin was in their pocket or shirt. Something to think about while you're digging into your turkeys tomorrow! 6 1 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
