Very nice. Happy Saturnalia!!
Legio IIII: [ATTACH]
Like me you had a slow year in collecting. The Sep Sev is my favorite followed by the Titus.
My fav is the Aethelred even though I don't collect beyond the Roman Empire. This could change my mind.
Nice selection. I would take any of them into my collection.
Fine examples all. Hard to choose, but I will try. In order: 6, Tetradrachm of Attambelos 3. New Style Athenian Tet 7, Kushan dinar
Of course all votes so far are for the Nero/Claudius since this is an ancient forum; however, I like the Mauger medal as well.
How about one from Claudius, but not so nice as the OP example:[ATTACH] CLAUDIUS AE Quadrans OBVERSE: T I CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG – Modius REVERSE:...

Since I don't collect Sasanian nor Parthian coins, my favorite is easy. Sept Sev!
I don't have a strong opinion, but I will point to what appears to be the "strips" coming through on the reverse (right side of "M"). This may...

Always glad to see everyone's top coins of the year. Yours are exceptional this year.
Looks like you had quite the year. My favorites are the Tacitus, Nerva and Trajan in that order.
Separate names with a comma.
