<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 8148219, member: 83845&quot;]Thank you [USER=101013]@Limes[/USER] !&nbsp; The Brutus / alien coin has been on my list for a long time and I was happy to add it.&nbsp; It is my first ancient gold coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also enjoy voting and have enjoyed watching the results of the votes on this list. I have recognized that I sometimes have &quot;newer coin&quot; bias when I put these lists together and that over time my favorites change a bit.&nbsp; It has been interesting to go back to some of my previous lists and compare my updated ranking to the voting trends.&nbsp; I much appreciate your participation!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>YES! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That IS an impressive facing portrait for only 6mm! Nice!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Shea! I was very excited to add the Maussolos both for the history and the artistry. I have seen a few nice examples of Maussolos coins come up at auction recently. I struck out a few times myself over the last few years before landing this one.&nbsp; I wish you luck at adding one and when you do I hope to see you post it here!&nbsp; I always enjoy your posts and your top quality coins. <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 [USER=17304]@kazuma78[/USER] ! I can definitely say the same about your additions in 2021.&nbsp; You landed some great coins on your Top 10 that are high on my list (...Persian daric anyone!).&nbsp; I look forward to seeing what 2022 brings you!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER] ! I am glad to see that the Gortyna Europa coin got some votes.&nbsp; I think its a fascinating coin and one of the most pleasant coins to research of any of the coins I bought this year. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate the king words!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><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 for the lead.&nbsp; I will definitely look into that.&nbsp; Since I posted last night I referenced &quot;Traite des monnaies grecques et romaines&quot; to see if there was discussion of the symbols but no luck... just a placeholder reference for the type.&nbsp; This will be something I will look into as I prepare a proper write up for this coin in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=93672]@singig[/USER] ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
