I agree in general, but there were no denarii before 211 BCE.
Please don't sell yourself short. I've seen your website and your coins!

From your second and equally impressive list, my favorites are the Divus Lucius Verus, the Divus Claudius, the Julian II siliqua, and the Geta.
Wow, thanks, @TIF; I love that collage!

It's always nice to have a Sear Certificate; this is one of three coins I own that came with one. Interestingly, despite what I think is great eye...
From your first list, my 3 favorites: Gordian I, Paulina, and the crossed cornucopiae of Tiberius and Germanicus Gemellus. Congratulations on some...
