<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1921263, member: 19463"]While I certainly agree with the ten as fine choices, I can not dismiss the Corinth (but would insist on one of fine style since many are not). For that matter I probably could name as many others that would be on my wish list if I had the money to seek them. Leading this might be the Posidonia and Sybaris staters with incuse reverses, the Naxos satyr stater and the Akragas silver with two feasting eagles in whatever size I could afford. Similarly, we could list ten that include not a single Greek or Roman, ten big ones, ten tiny, ten that include all twelve Caesars, ten Romans that include not a single man known to Suetonius and even ten really nice coins that could be purchased for under $50 apiece. Ten golds, ten not made of gold, silver or bronze, ten casts..... enough tens that our heads hurt thinking of them all. That is why some of us like ancients. There is no shame in not having a complete set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
