A top 10 of the decade would be a fun list to put together (I enjoy playing favorites with my coin children), especially if everyone includes the...
As seems to be the common theme, I also rated your coin #10 as my favorite: it's a wonderful piece. Congrats!
I'm very glad to see my former Terina stater alongside so many great pieces. My favorites are your #1 and #5, types I've wanted but where I...
My favorites are your XXXIIX and the Kroton. On the XXXIIX: there aren't many coins with this type of numeral but it would be a marginal time...
I'm still Judaea Capta-less so will just be a spectator on this thread but there are some stunning coins posted. @Orfew , I wonder if the finder...
A great upgrade, @Nvb. The style and flan size are both excellent. I've owned three examples of the type and am finally happy with my current...
I agree! Thanks for putting this together, @Curtisimo . I suppose the end of the year must have just gotten away from me but I wonder why I forgot...

I wish we could know that! It reminds me of a post @dougsmit made some years ago wishing for a super power that allowed him to see where a coin...
Thanks! And, in this context, I'm referring to pedigree as collector ownership history (although I'd agree that my Athens gold is my favorite...
I believe that Gonzaga is the earliest "documented" collection which has had its presence retained via its countermarks. The eagle was adopted by...
There have been many, many coin collectors over the centuries but few have documented collections as early as Apostolo Zeno. Apostolo Zeno...
Very cool, and a perfect way to flaunt your specialty without having to place a coin in jewelry (or rob the Louvre)!
That's incredibly impressive. I would have to assemble it at a hospital because of how many fingers I'd accidentally slice open trying to get the...
Congratulations on a truly stunning example! Coins always seem to find their way to the correct owner even if they take a circuitous path. Some of...
