[QUOTE="Cucumbor, post: 5187417, member: 4298"]Hi CT folks, On the ancient coins section of Cointalk, and for a few years now, we fancy building lists of our most significant purchases of the year (see [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-top-10-index.351239/']here [/URL]the thread that summarizes them, and [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/cucumbor%E2%80%99s-2020-review-my-top-5-%C2%BD.370795/']here [/URL]my 2020 contribution, if you would like to) Everybody there seems to enjoy seeing others « best of the year » and showing off their own. I’m usually an ancient and medieval guy, reason why you don’t see me here that often. 2020 has been a bit different, for many reasons, not just the Covid situation. For once (that hasn’t happened in decades I guess), I’ve bought almost the same number of world coins (the term "world" isn't completely accurate though, as I merely buy french, british and US coins on a regular basis) than ancient/medieval. Then I thought it might be fun to have a thread showing the best, or more interesting ones. Anyway, without further ado, here’s my top 6 for 2020, in no particular order, other than the date of emission 6 – United Kingdom – George II, shilling – 1739 [ATTACH=full]1213766[/ATTACH] 5 – France – Louis XVI, 1/5 ecu – 1784 [ATTACH=full]1213768[/ATTACH] 4 – United Kingdom – George III, six pence – 1787 [ATTACH=full]1213767[/ATTACH] 3 – USA – Draped bust large cent – 1802 (Sheldon #236). There's a thread [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/draped-bust-1802-large-cent-help-needed.361909/']here [/URL]about that one, as I had to ask a few questions, due to my lack of knowledge about those [ATTACH=full]1213771[/ATTACH] 2 – France – 2nd republic, 2 francs – 1849 [ATTACH=full]1213769[/ATTACH] 1– France – 3rd republic, 100 francs or – 1886 [ATTACH=full]1213770[/ATTACH] Hope you enjoy seeing them, as much as I will enjoy seeing yours :) Merry Christmas to all Q[/QUOTE]
