Thanks Al (and everyone else). I think I was quite fortunate that I happened to see the current HJB Buy or Bid Sale (still open for a another...
I had a feeling that you might vote for the two coins depicting Faustina's children. I guess I must be psychic! I'm very pleased to see that the...
Glued? Good God. I wonder what ended up happening to that coin. I read somewhere that there are well over 10 million uncatalogued ancient coins...
I admit I'm confused. Who's Sir Richard?
All outstanding!
That's beautiful, @cmezner. The cut really doesn't detract from its appearance at all. I don't know if I'll ever be able to exercise the willpower...

Hadrian, Billon Tetradrachm, Year 3 (118/119 AD), Alexandria, Egypt Mint. Obv. Laureate head right, drapery on left shoulder, AYT KAIC TPAIANOC...
Here's one of my favorites (it was in my Top 10 last year): Roman Republic, Ti. Claudius Ti.f. Ap.n. Nero [Tiberius Claudius Nero, son of...
This one's not perfect either, but I think it's quite a bit better in that at least the coins in the bottom few rows are now easily identifiable...
Magnificent! They're all wonderful, but I voted for the Lysimachos, the Ptolemy I Soter, and the Philip II.
You had a great year, @Roman Collector! It was hard to narrow it down to three favorites, but I ended up picking the C. Renius goat biga, the...
