<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 8085383, member: 83845&quot;]That was a incredible group lot and an excellent purchase on your part! All 4 of those coins were VERY nice examples.&nbsp; I am happy to hear that you managed to make your money back and still have two beautiful coins to show for it.&nbsp; That Gallienus! Wow. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I could not have been happier when I won the OP Elagabalus! It was one of my favorite buys of the year.&nbsp; As I said in the OP I have been looking for just the right example for at least the last 4 or 5 years.&nbsp; This one will be staying in my collection for good. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is definitely a plus that it came from a fellow collector that I know.&nbsp; Which reminds me, I forgot to ask if the below tag is from your collection?</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/94afe60a-9b61-48a3-8242-55fa2306d9cd-jpeg.1354624/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks John.&nbsp; I totally stole the list idea from [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] and [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] and I must admit this was a very fun list to put together.&nbsp; I look forward to seeing your budget category list next year!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is an excellent FH for only $10 HWE!&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] !&nbsp; I have the highest respect for your taste in coins so I especially appreciate the nice words. I tend to think of all my ancient coin purchases as bargains... even the ones I overpaid for. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I think I have only ever regretted one or two purchases since I started collecting.&nbsp; I like doing these lists because it reminds me that even in today&#039;s market there are still quality coins at every budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is a really nicely detailed Etenna and a very pleasant photo to show it off.&nbsp; Definitely a good buy at that amount. <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>Thank you John!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Z.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do hope you manage to put together a $1-$100 list.&nbsp; Your previous such lists are among my favorite posts of any kind on CT.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t have enough budget coins to make such a list in 2018 or 2020.&nbsp; I think if I find that I don&#039;t have enough coins for a $1-$100 thread in the future I will switch it over to an &quot;under $x amount&quot; list for that year like [USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER] does for his <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-affordable-hobby-2021-favorites-under-25.389672/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-affordable-hobby-2021-favorites-under-25.389672/">excellent budget lists</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=81896]@Deacon Ray[/USER] .&nbsp; Nice coins and great displays as always.&nbsp; Your prutot are great examples of the Year 2 and Year 3 bronzes. <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 Q!&nbsp; I greatly enjoyed your recent Top 10 list as well.&nbsp; You have wonder taste in coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
