<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bcuda, post: 3950371, member: 105389&quot;]I just got back into collecting in 2019 after a long time, last time I had collected ancients was over 20 years ago. I still had some of my favorite coins but had sold quite few of them in hard times. I went way over my budget for the year and will have to slow down some this coming year.</p><p>Not really sure what order to put all my coins in but my number 1 and 2 I have no doubt about for me. So here they are let me know your favorites please.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope everyone has a super year in 2020 collecting coins !</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1040932[/ATTACH]</p><p>My number 1 favorite</p><p><br /></p><p>Carthago Nova ,Iberia, c. 237 - 206 B.C.
