Nice finds. You are about where I was two years ago. Just starting out on the ancient bandwagon. It's a fun ride! I hope you enjoy it as much...
Great coins IceRain. I really like the #8 a nice example of a Maximinus I "Thrax" denarius if I'm not mistaken.
Wow! I see 2014 has been good to you Collect89. Nice coins all of them. As to my favorites, I'm torn between the tiny hemiobol and the SIKYONIA...
That's a tetradrachm minted under Alexander the Great. I think they are fairly common, but still can be a little pricey since they are in high...
For the second half of the collecting year, starting in about July or August, I dove into Greek coins and even bought a Persian Empire coin that I...
I enjoyed perusing other's top 10 lists. So I went back and looked at my purchases for the year. It was entertaining to see my collecting trends...
Great post and a great coin TIF! Makes me wonder what in the world ever happened to the original statue atop the column?
Nice group Doug. I'm struck by the variety. I think #6 is my favorite though. That type is definitely on my hit list for 2015.

Nice Otho Bing! I'll bet that one didn't fall into your "budget coin" category. ;)
Great Job Gil Galad! The holes I could have filled have all already been posted by our fellow coin bros. I think I'm still around 60 on my RIC...
Here's an example of one I sold earlier this year. It was slabbed and graded G-4 by PCGS. Even though the rim is heavily worn, you can still...
Beautiful coin as usual AJ. On this coin though, I really like the provenance as you've highlighted it in your write up. The history of those...
The 1916 D Merc Dime is the kind of coin that should be purchased in a slab, even in the lower grades. I don't see the mint-mark on that one. I...
Nice one Eng! Nicely centered with some great detail and nice surfaces. I agree that there are some great camp-gates to be found cheap. Just...
