    Many thanks for your congrats! :) Some of my EL purchases from 2016 are still on the way to me, and when they all come to me, I'll trying to make a great 2016 "still life" photo.
    In fact, this is a great advantage of narrow field - they all are almost the same place and period with great taste of archaic style. So, they are have a great look and sence all together.

    @stevex6 your ram / bull hekte a good addition to thread!

    Now my 2016 coins year completed. Here are two last from CNG EA 387. They are very great and I think they both must be on highest positions of list. Silenos hekte - fantastic archaic style and high relief. Floral hemihekte from the earliest days of coins.

    A great way to end the year, Ivan! The oblique shot of the Silenos hekte is particularly nice :)

    TIF, Bing, thank you. At some moment I even thought to change my lion avatar to this side shot Silenos. But no, I'll stay with my kind kitty :)

    Many-many thanks to TIF. This is another variant of the famous TIF and AncientJoe style. Silen_2.jpg
