Ha! We should all have a “B team” that looks this good. It’s Lucius Verus for me. (By the way, my AutoCorrect initially heard that line as, “It’s...
Beautiful coins! What else would be expected of Cellini? Alessandro seems to show the features of an Antonine like Lucius Verus.
How did I miss this wonderful list? I love the Constantius Chlorus among all winners. I nearly bid on that one, but I sensed it might go high-ish,...
A remarkable list. The Offa obverse is a favorite, but they are all as fantastic as that beast. Nap, your Anglo-Saxon focus and the high quality...
Man, you just *had* to post that Nemausus croc I let go! But I'm glad it found an appreciative home and am honored it made your Top 10. I miss...
It's not often that a Judaea Capta catches my eye; this are indeed historical but not uncommon. But the aging/toning on the reverse sets off the...
Breathtaking. Here’s a transcript of me scrolling down: “Oh, that’s my favorite...” “No, that's my favorite...” “No, that's my favorite...” “No,...
Hadrian, hands down. Gorgeous patina/highlighting on that obverse.
I find the first coin with Perseus in the Phrygian cap to be really intriguing and attractive. A remarkable beginning.
It’s hard to prefer a coin over that magnificent stater, but the Stone of Emesa is a pretty fascinating type and one I’d love to add to my...

Here you go! eBay purchase of about $22. From the London mint. These are scarcer than the garden-variety Sol coins. [ATTACH]
I like the Trajan too--probably because I lack the knowledge to appropriately appreciate the other coins. That reverse type reminds me of...
I feel your pain. Initially Steve’s was a tad out of my price range, but one morning I checked and the price had been lowered just enough, so I...
Yes, an unusual coin. I spotted it on eBay the very night I hosted @Victor_Clark on my campus. I waited for Victor to get home and then sent him...
I think I've found a fellow coin romantic. Yes, all wonderful possibilities.
The complete 2018 haul: 1. Augustus Altar of Lugdunum 2. Augustus and Agrippa Croc 3. Biblical Herod Agrippa 4. Biblical Valerius Gratus 5....
So I’m going to apologize ahead of time for my long-windedness. Feel free to just scroll and look at the pictures. I’ve really had a fun year...
