    I never thought I’d own one of these in proof. I guess that the longer you collect, the more you fool yourself.:woot:

    I acquired my special coin in January at the last NYINC. They are always overpriced and I found it for a reasonable cost :cool:

    I only added one thing to my collection this year and it was a medal.
    @ToughCOINS found it and knew I would fall in love with it. He was right.

    Looking back at this past year, I added many fantastic pieces to my collection (many more than even Catherine knows about…….. please don’t tell).

    I would have to say that this is the one that spent the most time on my nightstand after I bought it:

    Belated reply @longshot - I like your Judaea Capta with its colorful cabinet toning. It’s a tad nicer than the one I had in my old Twelve Caesars collection a decade ago.

    (All I have left of it are these tiny photos.)

    I want another someday, maybe.

    Out of all 8 coins that I picked up in 2022, this one sticks out the most for me. I have absolutely nothing else like it and it's (so far) the best portrait that I've seen for that particular Byzantine Emperor. "Ugly Beauty" describes it well for me.
