    Not a top 40 countdown—It’s been a while since I’ve experienced a 40-plus coin acquisition year. This is more of a visitation by the Ghost of Christmas Past. I purchased these coins around Christmas of 2018 and they are still among my favorites. ​

    Those are some great coins @Deacon Ray it's very easy to see why they are still some of your favorites. I particularly like the tetradrachm, the reverse with Tyche and the river god is one of the more interesting I've seen.

    Nice coins. I especially like the tetradrachm. The Tyche seated - Orontes swimming motif is common on Antioch bronzes. I didn't know it occurred like that on a tet!
