All beautiful. I think my favorite is also no. 2.
I must be awfully obtuse today, but I still don't have a clue as to what any of this has to do with that guy.
I'm afraid I don't get the joke. I hope you don't mean my ex-mayor; he's definitely no friend of mine!
You didn't say ancient! The charge at the Battle of Waterloo (Mudie 34, Eimer 1069): [ATTACH] Next: another non-Greek and non-Roman horse, this...
The biggest scowl in my collection is from Caracalla as well: [ATTACH] But the ugliest I've seen has to be this provincial portrait of...

That sestertius of Balbinus is definitely weighty-looking. A lot of gravitas. I assume that @curtislclay would take the position that its reverse,...
A wonderful assortment that looks really cool put together like that. I think this is the only one I also have: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
All amazing! I can only dream of owning coins like that. My favorites are #'s 1, 2, 5, & 8.
