Thanks! I agree :). Hopefully 2022 is just as great!
Thanks! Yeah I tend to flip flop a lot on the time line xD. I sort of collect coins from times in history that I find interesting and would want...
Thanks singig! :) I’m glad to see some love for the Quadrigatus. Usually they don’t seem to get the love they deserve for a coin minted so far...
Very fond of those two coins myself. :) I had difficulty putting the Athenian Owl before the Quadrigatus but in the end the owl is a classic and I...
Yup one of the great things about collecting is everyone likes different stuff :). Good choices! Hopefully the Parthian’s weren’t intending for...
Thanks! I really love the Domitian. It does have those scratches but for the first time I didn’t care and went for it anyway. Mostly because in my...
Thanks furry! :) Oddly enough the Byzantine solidus is the only ancient gold I own. Lol! Sadly all the coolest ancient gold is way too expensive...
Thanks Doug! Yeah I’ve noticed from looking at other Parthian drachms that many of them are way off center with the head at the very bottom (or...
Thanks! :) I really love them both. I think the Hadrian got a lower place than expected because it looks pretty dark in normal lighting. It’s...
Thanks Bensi! I’m hoping 2022 is as bountiful as 2021 in my collecting. :)

Thanks Jay! :) I agree with you about the Marcus Aurelius denarius. You know I had to get a nice example of a denarius of my favorite Emperor. xD...
Thanks! :) It was tough trying to put some of them in proper order though because I love all of them.

I've seen a lot of people doing these so I decided I would do one myself :). This year is the first year I began collecting Ancients so...
I’m so sorry to hear this :(. It’s hard to express in words but I can say I will pray for you and your family.
Yup! They are definitely from the same time. It’s just that they started out with a high purity and as Hannibal won more and more victories they...
Nice coins! I got a Quadrigatus this year too and it’s definitely in my top 3! :) Based on comparison it looks like yours was minted later in...
$20 is less than just the cost to send them in for grading. xD
Isn’t there at least $15 in silver? I know they’re only 40% but $15 is like 3/4 troy oz and there are 3 coins.
