<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrsmat71, post: 2589435, member: 42634&quot;]I&#039;ve enjoyed checking out everyone&#039;s top list, here&#039;s mine for the year.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>10. I collect some modern coins as well as ancient, and thought the &quot;new coins&quot; should get a representative on&nbsp; my list.&nbsp; This one is a Conder token, a type of local coinage produced in Great Britian in the late 18th and early 19th century because of a lack of offical small change currency.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/modern%20coins/100_1154_zpsm4egxhjv.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/modern%20coins/100_1154_zpsm4egxhjv.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg513/chrsmat71/modern%20coins/100_1154_zpsm4egxhjv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>9. This ugly coin was picked up out of an small lot of unidentified coins.&nbsp; The most fun I had with coins this year was IDing&nbsp; this lot, it was a blast.&nbsp; None are lookers, but I thought they should get a representative on the list as well.&nbsp; &nbsp; This one is rare and was pretty tough to ID.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/100_7604_zpszwmpqb54.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/100_7604_zpszwmpqb54.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg513/chrsmat71/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/100_7604_zpszwmpqb54.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6">Tetrarchy of Chalkis, Coele Syria, Lysanias, 40 - 36 B.C.</font></p><p><br /></p><p>O; female bust, R: double cornucopia, flanked by ligatures, 22 x 24 mm, 5.4 g</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>8.This one was the only real impulse buy on the list, I wasn&#039;t aware of the type until I saw one on vcoins for about 30 bucks, bought it almost immediately.&nbsp; Cool style!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/100_0537_zpsky19edtb.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/100_0537_zpsky19edtb.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg513/chrsmat71/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/100_0537_zpsky19edtb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6">Pisidia, Etenna. 1st century AD.</font></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv.: Nymph grappling with snake, amphora in left field.

This one made the list becuase of it&#039;s been on &quot;the list&quot; for quite some time.&nbsp; Not this particular coin, but a young portrait of Geta.&nbsp; Also, not a bad looking coin, and I kind of like the scragly flan.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/roman%20coins/100_8919_zpssergdg2i.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/roman%20coins/100_8919_zpssergdg2i.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg513/chrsmat71/roman%20coins/100_8919_zpssergdg2i.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6">Geta.
