Message:: [QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3974222, member: 83845"]We are approaching 80 top 10 lists this year.  Lots of great coins on display. I am waaaay behind on actually reading them all so I know I’ll be working my way through the links here over the next few days! In the meantime here is another one of my “almost made it” coins. This one was actually very much in the running for my number 10 spot but because I had already posted it to my budget favorites thread, <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/curtisimo’s-spectacular-6-for-under-60-2019.351286/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/curtisimo’s-spectacular-6-for-under-60-2019.351286/">here</a>, I went with another for my #10. Let’s call this one Curtisimo’s #10b <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> [ATTACH=full]1045921[/ATTACH]Roman EmpireCommodus under Marcus AureliusAE Sestertius, Rome mint, struck ca.
