Hey, awesome => thanks 42BC (that was very nice ... you rock)

you are definitely one of the new Top-dogs (I love seeing your coins)

Man, that was great!!

cheers, brother

 

Thanks Bing & chrsmat ... you two dudes are awesome (thanks for a great year)

chrsmat => Indo baby made your list, eh? (I love that coin, but it's not in my collecting wheelhouse, so I didn't put it into the final mix)

India Post Mauryan Punjab


Bing => yah, I love that Celtic Gaul coin as well, but sadly it got bumped by 8 other stevex6-examples (but it did make my short-list ... cool coin)

Celtic Gaul example



wow, it'll be kinda interesting if a whole bunch more folks give their sweet opinions, eh?

Hey gang => "please" try to sift- back through and give me your opinions on my top-5

cheers

 

I could keep changing my five over and over from your years total....but I'll pick the following for now (no particular order):

# 52 Overstruck Triens
# 34 Victoriatus
# 29 Caracalla
# 28 Faustina Jr
# 27 Max Follis

 

Thanks Mikey-Z ..... great choices

Man, maybe I should have posted my Top-5 "before" your dudes posted your opinions? (now I'm rethinkin' my choices)

Faustina Junior, eh? ... yah, I like that coin but it didn't make my short-list



=> again "PLEASE" keep me giving your Top-5 picks ...

... I plan on tallying-up the results and also giving "my" final choices ...

Thanks ... this is kinda fun, yes?

 

A yearful of winners, Steve, but I'm most jealous of these five:

#5


#4


#3


#2


#1

 

Yah, I love that coin ...

=> awesome choices, Z-bro ... you definitely have a couple of my Top-picks (I'm glad that you liked my "stuff")

... you rock, my BABYMETAL friend!!

 

MY SWEET TOP EIGHT ...

#8



#7


#6



#5



#4



#3



#2



#1

 

I like, in numerical order #4 Galeria Valeria, #11 Larissa AE, #19 Thessaly, Lamia hemidrachm, #25 Lucania Velia with lion, and #48 a Republican victoriatus.

 

Hmm, there is much to love about your 2015 purchases but these are my favorites, not in order because that is too difficult:

 

Thanks, Warren & TIF ... I appreciate your coin-critiques (the more, the merrier)

Hmmmm, both of you chose the AE-Larissa (yah, I love that coin too) ... ummm, I obviously love all "52" of my hand-picked choices, but only the cream were chosen as my Top-8 ... I decided to go with a Top-8 rather than a Top-10 so I could waver back-and-forth on a couple of coins that you dudes picked (like the AE-Larrisa in this case => I totally agree that it could/should have bumped-out that gnarly lead baby Gryphon Tessera that I picked, eh?)



Yup, the AE Larissa is definitely a show-pony ... the obverse centering was its down-fall (oh, but please don't tell it that I said that ... thanks)



anyway, thanks again for your comments (I really do love hearing which of my choices the "crowd" seems to like)

TIF => you have great taste in my coins, for I had the Thessaly Lamia and the Achaen League on my Top-8 short-list (thanks for the effort, princess)

Oh => "PLEASE" give me more data points => I want to hear "everbody's opinions"

I promise that I'll tally-up the stats after the dust clears ... thanks gang

=> you guys rock!!

 

My favorites from the impressive x6 haul:

 

Sweet picks, Doug ... again, all three of your choices made my short-list

Unfortunately, Tranquillina's find-patina-complexion had her sitting-on the bench ... oh, and the Boeotia over-strike probably would have made the podium if I didn't score Thomas the train at the very last minute!! (yah, the horse wrapped around the portrait is very cool, eh?)

Thanks for taking a sec and making your picks, mentor (I always love hearing your opinions on my collection)

 

Steve i love all your coins, its hard to pick 5..

 

poor effort, champ

=> but I love ya, so you're still money in my books (I hope that you're having a sweet Saturday, my friend)

 

Really, Eng?

Man-up .... c'mon brother (what, you got all sorts of retirement things on the go?)

=> giddy-up ... how rude!!



Oh, and what about you guys ... please give me a Top-5, so I can make some good stats (thanks brothers ... and sisters!!)

 

So far, my cool friends include:

1 - 42BC
2 - chrsmat
3 - Bing
4 - Mikey-Z
5 - Z-bro
6 - TIF
7 - Warren
8 - Mentor

..... holy cr*p => I guess that really is the cream, eh?

Does anybody else have a Top-5 opinion? (I would love to hear from way more folks => man, that's an entire year's effort, coin-brothers => show me some love!!)

... thanks

 

Well Steve, my son is about to shed a tooth. That Thomas the Train coin would make a swell toothfairy gift for him. If you feel generous enough, I'd be happy to accept your donation of the coin. Won't someone think of the children?
