    A little bit less expensive than the last few years, (only 1 over $100(1st coin)) but I still added some pretty good coins..

    You did quite well if only the one coin cost over $100! I like the Larissa, Antiochos VIII, Lycia, Mithrapata.png Larissa Thessaly 2.jpg , and Dynasts of Lycia in no particular order. Good year for you.

    Wow! You had a great year! I love the sestertii of Faustina and her son with the Tiber patina and the old collector tags!!! The Isinda Zeus/horseman is really neat, too.

    I'm partial to Leo-III, don't see half circles very often. Overall, great coins. Thanks for giving us a look.

    Arnoldoe, The Tet of Antiochos VIII is an excellent example of the Hellenistic style & stands out among your group :D! The provenance going back to 1925 is a strong plus for this coin :happy:.

    Good selection! I like the first 3 the most, especially the Tarentum Nomos.
    I don't have any coins with dolphins and this needs to change.
    I also enjoyed the old tags from Faustina II and Commodus coins, those old tags and calligraphy sure add to the personalities of the coins.
