Great coin and a great reason to own it. And all the best to Steve!
Super coin @TheRed! Normally, facing portraits don't survive circulation very well. Yours did just fine!
Two really neat tets! The Geta is my favourite too.
I won't quibble with a top ten that features six Flavians. Well done!
Now, that is one cool brockage!
You will have a tough time beating this group of coins in 2018! #9, #4, and #1 are my favourites.

What splendid denarii! Very eye-catching.
Lovely coin @LaCointessa! I can see why it would be your favourite. Tyche also shows up on denarii struck at Ephesus under Vespasian. [ATTACH]...
I can't pick just one, but I can list a few that are pretty top notch. CNG in the US. Roma in England. Nomos in Switzerland. CBG in France. Lanz...
Excellent name recognition on a nice looking coin!
Lovely coin @alde!
I would prefer the group of 10 over the single $180 coin. But then again, I don't know enough about the Magnentius to know what I would be missing...
Spacing dots were used in the legends to, well, space it properly. Usually they are seen on dies when a great amount care is given to their...
You did very well with the Domitian. Did you notice the spacing dots? Normally during the Flavian era the finest style dies have them.
