<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3263633, member: 57495&quot;]I&#039;m finding myself a little disturbed by the thought that I want all of those coins for my collection.&nbsp; Not just the type, but those <i>exact </i>coins (yes, even the Amastris and Mars &amp; Rhea Silvia that I already have my own examples of).&nbsp; Noooo.... I&#039;m becoming Doug!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just kidding.&nbsp; There can really only be one Doug. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And, due credit should as always be given to all the good reasons you chose your coins, and how you often tell us something interesting about them that we probably would have missed were we looking at them ourselves.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Lycian stater is probably my overall favorite - I love the types and I think that ragged nugget of a flan has a really unique character - I wish I had spotted it in that auction, but I&#039;m glad it&#039;s found a home with you.&nbsp; A few others really stand out for me as well.&nbsp; The Carinus tet with the legionary eagle is something I hadn&#039;t seen before.&nbsp; The big Rhodes AE has been on my want list for some time now, but the right one just hasn&#039;t come along... yours would definitely qualify as a &quot;right one&quot; for me.&nbsp; The same applies to the Pescennius Niger.&nbsp; As for your Germanicus dupondius, I can only say that in bringing up Varus, you&#039;ll now need a coin struck by Varus to complement this one. I look forward to seeing one of them in your 2019 list. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
