    All stand out coins.

    The owls are really nice, and the obverse on the archaic owl is excellent.

    A man after my own heart. I love the owls. Except for two I bought all of mine before the big hoard showed up:banghead: Oh well at least I am consistent the last owl I bought wasn't from the hoard either. Love the cistophoros as well good job

    Wow! Great coins. I love how good you’ve been at picking Faustina coins with great style. The sestertii you’ve shown look very nice. Well done :)

    H.C., You scored some beauties this year :D! The gold stater of Alexander :jawdrop:, deserves 1st place. The Athenian Tet, #2 is a lovely looking coin :happy:. The portrait of Faustina Jr. on #3 is stunning :cool:. How did NGC grade coins 1 & 2 o_O?

    I believe #2 would be my favorite but I hope you can upgrade the photo of the reverse.

    Many thanks for your great comments. :)

    The Alexander stater (coin #1) is graded AU, and the Attica Owl (coin #2) at Choice XF.

    Many thanks, Terence! I think quality counts, and your coins have such high quality. Well worth a bit more premium. Furthermore, I think the history behind finds other than the big hoard is more interesting.

    I agree that the reverse photo has much room for upgrade. Will reshoot on the weekend.

    Great coins! No. 1 and 2 are absolutely awesome coins, but I also find the portrait of your no.7 very charming.

    Fantastic top 10 @happy_collector The Alexander III stater is my favourite, but all are terrific! I'm also particularly fond of the 2nd Faustina Jr. sestertius and the early Athenian tetradrachm! Congrats!

    Congrats @happy_collector, wonderful coins! I will add a vote for #6 as favorite (an excellent early cistophoric tetradrachm), and a vote for #3 (Faustina Jr.). All nice coins and easy to see why an AV stater would take top spot. Best wishes for 2021!
