<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 8082019, member: 83845&quot;]Thanks IM! Glad that you enjoyed the list. I appreciate the kind words.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=116907]@Mammothtooth[/USER] .&nbsp; It’s nice to see the Galerius get a little bit of love. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks AA!&nbsp; I was hoping you’d be proud of me for having not one but TWO architecture coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice Perge example. I think it is fascinating that the Roman era reliefs allow us see what the cult statue might have looked like and compare with the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks cmezner!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hahaha <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> This post is awesome!&nbsp; I totally agree. Excellent score on that Maximianus example!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting observation about Italia. I wasn’t aware of that dynamic.&nbsp; I looked back through my coins to see if I had any examples with Roma and the emperor together on an imperial issue and I do not.&nbsp; I’m interested now so I’ll have to look into it a bit more. </p><p><br /></p><p>I’m happy to see the Homer getting a lot of positive attention. That was my first coin of the year which turned out to be a good omen of a good collecting year for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another Homer coin I’ve had for a long time.&nbsp; My dad brought it back from Greece when he went there for work when I was a kid.&nbsp; He gave me all the change he brought back and I’ve always thought it was cool that the pre-Euro coins had depictions of famous ancient Greeks (imagined likeness of course).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1403546[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Brian! I made it a focus for the year to find good value coins. The hobby really is open to all budgets even with the recent shenanigans at the high end of the market. </p><p><br /></p><p>Glad you enjoyed the list my friend. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for voting Al!&nbsp; I always find it fun to see how the voting breaks down.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks RC! I was happy to win that Homer for what I thought was a very fair price.&nbsp; I wonder if Homer would be the most recognizable Greek name modern people after ATG.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Pavlos! I appreciate the kind words. I enjoy coins of all types and price brackets so this list wad really enjoyable for me to put together. I like the fact that so much history can be had on a budget. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks gogili![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
