<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 1838806, member: 54140&quot;]Well I guess in ~20 days or so it will be the one year anniversary of me starting to collect coins. Time sure flies when you are having fun. It has been a wonderful year and I look forward to learning more from everyone as time goes on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my top 5 coins in no particular order!</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin #1</p><p>I think this Caracalla for many reasons. First and foremost because he looks a bit like a zombie.</p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/m0bHiuAl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/rVkSkn5l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin #2</p><p>My most expensive purchase thus far. It isn&#039;t quite the winner that other Hadrian galley&#039;s are but it does have an awesome boat.</p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/8qM8i07l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/PYtshj3l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Coin #3</p><p>While I may never be able to prove that this coin was a damnatio on Nero the eyes were deliberately punched out. It adds something incredibly unique to the coin.</p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/nSlX51ol.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/FVIaVRxl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin #4</p><p>I am so happy to have added this Postumus to my collection. I have spent an embarrassing amount of time holding this coin in my hands under the light to look at the toning. I must admit even as I uploaded the picture I pulled out the coin to admire it some more. I believe this will be one of my favourites for a long time.</p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/LNZLvLdl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/OxJKPsDl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin #5</p><p>Finally a type of coin I had admired from everyone else and had to track one down for myself. Luckily the gentleman at the monthly coin show in Winnipeg happened to have a couple. I was more than happy to give it a new home and it will hopefully have a brother in the new year!</p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/EZsHkvZl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/QDiANyal.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I look forward to the year ahead with all of you and learning as much as possible!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for all of your coins I think Jackie Chan says it best.</p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/s7d7A.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
