Bing's Top 10 for 2020

Great coins! Seems it not the number that counts, but the enjoyment you will have from your "12" additions. These will make your collection even better I really like that Probus coin, great portrait/ reverse detail

Thanks for all the kind remarks. I didn't place them in order of what I thought to be the best, but rather chronologically.

No, I have one other, but not near as nice.

 

I like all of them, but especially the Owl and the hemidrachm from Lycia.

 

It is like the 12 Days of Christmas! Excellent Ancients, JW. Thanks for showing them.

 

fine group o coins Bing...i favor your Lycian league meself..(i see by your MA's old habits die hard)

 

You had a great year, I'd say. Of course, the owl is very special and well-preserved. It's a lovely example. I like the Tripolis mint Probus -- that coin is much harder to come by than the owl. The Flavian dynastic issue is interesting, too.

 

An excellent year Bing, here's to the next one.

 

@Bing, your Athens tet with the tall owl is an outstanding example! I do however have an inexplicable soft spot for holed coins, so that Vespasian is my favorite, especially because it's a more interesting type. If you ever want to part with it, it'd have a special place in my collection.

 

Great group.. the Owl and coin from Lycia are my two favorites.

 

Hey old coin buddy, glad you had a great 2020...at least great for coins!

That tet is the obvious winner but you know I really dig that Probus....it turns up the volume to 11!

 

Thanks to all that responded. Special shout out to my old pal @chrsmat71. Would love to see you again once this stupid pandemic is history. (in German: vorbei)

 

I sure enjoyed feasting my eyes on your 2020 acquisitions, Bing. Happy New Year, everybody!

 

congrats on your collection, the Owl belongs at the top of your (and many) list, I like the Apollo / lyre.
