It's a pretty eclectic mix of periods and coin types. It was pretty hard to pick a top 10.

All great silver with nice detail, top two Augustus take my fancy the capricorn and temple, but all nice. Congrats on a great collection.

 

Nice selection. Love both Augustus coins & of course the Henry VI

 

I like the Augustus and the Henry II.

 

I to like that Augustus (both) and Judea Capta and Domitian. All are nice

 

That’s a pleasing all-silver list. The Vespasian Judaea Capta is tops for me.

 

That's a lot of 12 Caesars for one year! All great reverse types, and that left-facing Titus portrait is killer. Great medievals too, esp. the groat. Great way to get an affordable William I too!

 

That's a nice Tealby!

 

Excellent examples @alde. Many I would love to have.

 

That top Roman group is killer, I love the Augustus Capricoin..and I LOVE the color of that groat!

 

Very awesome coins!

 

That is a nice group of denarii, alde.
Just the type of imperial silver that I like.
The Judaea denarius is particularly nice.

 

Great set of coins @alde I like the mix of Roman and Medievals. The Titus denarius with the elephant reverse is a real pleasing coin. Same goes for the Vespasian with the reverse SPQR too.

 

A rather sweet best of list. 2017 was a good year for you!

 

Wow!! What a terrific selection!! Huge congrats @alde !!!

I'd happily add ALL of your roman coins (especially the Augustan and Judea Capta)....and that gorgeous Henry VI Groat to my collection!!

I only have one example of those you posted:

 

Very nice @alde ! Really fun to see your cool Top 10! The first seven I would easily pull into my collection. The Medievals are a new area with me where I have very limited coins. They are also great coins!

I wonder if your Augustus' Biga in Temple represents a Triumph... Nice

Here is a Triumph for your Triumph:

Since I picked up a Judaea Capta this year, I know from extensive comparison shopping what a premium they command in the finer grades. Yours has a remarkably detailed reverse. One doesn't see too many of these in which you can actually make out the eyes, nose, and mouth of the captured Judaea/Jewess. Impressive!
