Justin Lee's Top 10 of 2018

Really like ALL your coins, but enjoy these two in particular. Here are a couple of mine:

I like your series, and want to get one. Yours is during the time Carthage was losing/lost the war and Hannibal is charged with running the reorganization of Carthage's finances! Hence, the issue of the super-heavy 15 Shekels pieces that @TIF and I captured.

CARTHAGE TriShekels

Carthage AE Trishekel Tanit Horse 220-215 BCE 2nd Punic War 30mm 17.6g Lot 35


Carthage AE Trishekel Tanit Horse 220-215 BCE 2nd Punic War 30mm 19.7g Lot 36

MAMERTINOI
Their history and coins were so cool. Great job @Justin Lee ! Here are some of mine... go get 'em!

Sicily Messana Mamertinoi 211-208 BCE AE Pentonkion Male Head Horseman


Sicily Mamertini 264-241 BCE AE Pentonkion Zeus Warrior Shield Spear Merc Samnites- Messana

All great coins, it's hard to pick a favorite but your 1 & 2 along with Carthage Tri Shekel are standouts.

 

Superb 2018 collection, @Justin Lee ! I had a favorite but I forgot which one it was so it must not have been my favorite Anyway, it's difficult to go wrong when we stick with AA—(Augustus and Antioch )

 

Excellent coins, Justin! To me, Tacitus rules! Happy 2019!

 

Thank you all who checked out my top 10 and those that replied! I was going to put together what everyone's replies said was their favorite, like a vote using your replies, but their didn't seem to be any clear single winner. Lots of love for the Augustuses (Augustii?), Faustina Jr, Tacitus, Carthage, Mamertinoi, and Ptolemy all spread around. I love that we all find the things that we like about each coin and see them differently with different appreciation.

Thank you all again for your replies, and all your support in 2018, and in advance in 2019!
