<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 1838621, member: 21445&quot;]I was gonna do a thread like this but I didnt bother since last year I only got a few replies and that was in the coin chat forum cause I wanted all to post, not ancient only.</p><p><br /></p><p>This year has been pretty good to me for ancients. I dont think I have bought as many this year as I did in 2012 and I have no idea what 2014 will bring.</p><p><br /></p><p>My goal for 2014 is to finish my 12 caesars, buy a Mariniana &amp; Eudoxia coin. Add more greek and republlics as a whole and possibly more provincials. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now for favorites buys of 2013, I only have a few &amp; in no order.</p><p><br /></p><p>A highlight was this Faustina Jr. It was an ebay purchase that was largely ignored by the buyers. I was attracted to its cheap price and after some research, very rare reverse. I knew it was something I had to have and I had to part with another faustina jr. I liked alot to get this. But I have no regrets.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/21etbna.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next up is one that should be obvious if you read my new threads. This is a favorite due to being one of my first major error coins, this being an engravers error on the reverse legend. The coin may not be pretty but its still pretty special, so much so Curtis Clay mentioned of wanting it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/4kbb11.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Although another one that may be rough to some eyes. I fell in love with this coin when it was listed on a dealers site I buy from alot. I couldnt resist adding this Tiberius for my 12 caesars. I especially like that I didnt get bit by the &quot;tribute penny bug&quot; like so many have to have for a 12 caesars.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/21enin7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The big accomplishment for 2013 was completing my AR set of Crispina Denarii. She, along with Lucilla were a side set I wanted to do. Surprisenly, Crispina was easier to complete then Lucilla, little did I know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eitherway 2013 added a few to complete this set, the finisher was the Clasped Hands reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/b89zs5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thats about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
