Great bunch of coins. I really like the Elagabalus and the Philip II

 

Oh nice. A very awesome top 10 and a good presentation of them as well.

 

Interesting collection. You cover a lot of years with your coins. I like the two faced ones best.

 

Nice coins. I particularly like the hexagram

 

Excellent stuff! Love the portraits on the Postumus, Gallienus and Elagabalus.

 

Awesome Top-10, Arnold => they're all very cool, but I'm really liking 5, 7 and 10

 

Fantastic group shot! All are more than worthy of a top 10. The Postumus portrait is a real standout!

 

Nice! My favorites are the Persian silos (I guess I just might have some bias towards that region of the ancient world ) and the reverse on #10.

 

Great top ten, and I like the presentation. I like the As, the Siglos, and Philip the Mastermind!

 

Love your presentation. A very nice top 10.

 

Great mix!!!

I love the fantastic portrait pieces and that cool two-faced AS......but I seem to favor # 7 and 10 most---probably because I am missing an example of both and crave everything I lack LOL

 

I like that Venetian coin! They're all great!

 

Thanks, i had to figure out how to arrange them into a square shape for the photo,


Overall my top 10 averaged out to about $92 usd per coin this year. which is a bit cheaper than last year which was 130 per coin
