First half of 2017

My choice for presentation of what I bought in the first half of 2017 is these five denarii - two Caracalla, Elagabalus, Geta and Alexander Severus:





I have to slow down considerably in the second half of 2017, or my wife will kill me.

Some really classic top shelf coins their congrats on some exceptional buys.

 

Great coins all. Here's my top 5 non fel temps, and my top 5 fel temps under, so far.

 

I would say that tari is pretty standard. It's not the nicest since you can't see the outer legend. Most of them have ragged flans, and are all crude, so I wouldn't worry about that. I would say there are nicer ones out there, but it does depend on how much you want to spend. Mine was $210 - this one is a little sharper, and while you can make out part of the outer legend, not all is visible (the outer legend is the interesting part since it contains a mint and date). I would hazard maybe $230 for this coin? (But I'm also stingy...)

 

Just in case I haven't said so before, everybody has posted some pretty amazing and beautiful coins in this thread!

 

Compliments for this fantastic parade of your choicest coins!
