Nice assortment!! I particularly like the JC bronze.

 

Good coins. I see you like them big and heavy coins. Been looking to add some to my collection too.

 

That is also my favorite in the lot. I'm currently watching the HBO series "Rome" on DVD. A friend loaned me the 8 disc set. It is an addictive & entertaining series.

 

sweet ENG...the parthian is my favorite in that group for sure.

 

It's like food fer' me brain.

 

Great haul here.

 

I don't remember you showing the JC bronze before. NICE!

 

Don't you remember the Maddroosi collection.

 

Ah, yes. I DO remember now. Thanks for jogging my memory. They say memory is the second thing to go. I don't remember the first.

 

You got to remember to buy more coin's..

 

Those are mighty fine coins, John. You have excellent taste. I love the Persian, and the A. Flacilla has great reverse detail for the type. Nice haul!

 

I told you it was bad ass!!!

 

BTW I love the provenance of the Gonatas Tet, but the JC bronze is a must have.

 

Brutal .... those coins suck!!

... obviouly joking, my friend (wow, that's a sweet grouping, Eng!!) ... congrats!!

Yah, I love 'em all (I think I like the JC the best, but just because I don't have an example, so I'm a bit jealous of that lil' sweetie)

=> but I also really like the Caligula and the Antigonus ll Gonatas (maybe because I have examples as well?) ... oh yeah ...

 

Good stuff, Eng. Love that JC bronze. May 2015 bring you more Big Ones!

 

Love em all. I wouldnt mind that JC ae for sure looks great.

 

Fantastic coins Eng! The Antigonus II is a coin that is nice and high on my wishlist and I am jealous every time I see one.
