[QUOTE="Limes, post: 8076823, member: 101013"]Thanks for replying DonnaML. I did not reply yet... First, wow, 73! That's a nice haul, even though less than last year :) Curious to see your other lists too, hope you can find the time to make them. I think I'm currently at some 19 coins, and I've sold a few this year too. About your solidus, it strikes me that the obverses of the facing three-quarters-style solidii are generally speaking somewhat our of proportions, with the head being too long and the eyes too close to each other. On the other hand, I like the variety compared to (again generally speaking) Roman imperial portraits, which are (again generally speaking) shown from the side, either left or right facing.
