My kind of mix! I'm like them all but am particularly envious of the Paphlagonia, L.J Caesar and Larissa trihemiobol, in that order.

 

Very nice group! I really like the Titus.

 

Very nice! I really like the Q. Caecilius Metellus

 

Nice stuff, still want a Sergius myself.

 

I just went back through and added up what I spent so far this year. Total was $1616 (includes all shipping and fees). The average then per coin comes to $35.91. Better than what I thought it would be. Just remember, I'm not cheap, just frugal!

 

No, Bing, I spent more this year and considered myself cheap so it is time for you to fess up and admit that you are Cheap with a capital C. 2016 was a big year and I still have one in the mail. The mail carrier thinks I am stalking but I'm just standing by the mailbox waiting patiently for something other than another stack of Medigap ads (which is a joke considering Tricare for Life).

I like #6 (the other Caesar) because of the full flan which is not a given with these.

 

Nice collection! I like the bird, raven?, on #2; the Cupid biga and one armed M. Sergius.
Marcus Sergius was a Roman general during the Second Punic War (218 to 201 BC). He is famed in prosthetics circles as the first documented user of a prosthetic hand. The metal hand was constructed to allow him to hold his shield in battle.

They ALL are great for me! Exactly my style. I always found the Caesar reined Cupids a hilarious reverse!

 

Congrats @Bing!!! What a wonderful variety of coins !!!

I'd guess I purchased about 75 coins during 2016 (with one more sneaking under the wire) and I WISH they averaged out to less than $40.00 each. I'd gladly add each and every one of yours to my collection!!

 

Very nice Bing, good taste.

 

Great buying Bing, especially like the Republican Denarius Sergius and Caesar, also good detail on Mark Antony galley.

 

nice animals BING

 

That Sinope is very cool!

 

Nice collection for the year..

 

Wow, big-bro => all ten of those babies are awesome!! (chicken dinna!!)

My sweet coin-friend, you are soooooo fricken cheap ... everybody knows it and we're all good with it ... hmmm, but I kinda sense that Doug might be a bit angry that you stole his 2016 thrift-crown? (I'm just sayin')

As I already stated, I love all ten of your contestants, but I think that #3, #4 and #5 are my Bingtastic coins of 2016

... you rock (I hope that you and yours have a healthy 2017)

 

Thanks little brother, and same to you and yours.

 

I really aspire towards Binghood. In fact, the sooner the better!

 

I'm not skinny ... I'm just pacing myself



Bing, I can't wait to see your thrifty 2017 coins!!

=> You da King, Brother!!

 

Great group Bing! Im especislly liking #4, 8 and 9.

I think my top three coins combined were a little more than what you spent total! (but much of that cash was from reselling) Now I really feel like I splurged this year!

Mr. Krabs has nothing on you, Bing!
