That's a wonderful Top 10, and some interesting details/story behind each one. Thanks for sharing. Hard to pick a favorite, but there is something very intriguing about the style of #8. Though you did't feature it here, I also think the Septimius Severus with Africa reverse you posted in a thread recently was really marvelous.
A very fine write-up, Doug. I do like the thoughts and reasoning behind buying these coins. Well done.
