<p>[QUOTE="Mr.MonkeySwag96, post: 9826717, member: 100951"]I've been a collector of US coins before I transitioned into ancient numismatics. The past 3 years I have focused solely on ancient coins. My main interests are Roman Republic & Imperial denarii, though I occasionally dabble with Greek & Byzantine coins. This year, I have greatly expanded my Republican collection and I currently own 10 of the 12 Caesars. I don't exactly have a favorite purchase, the coin's numbering below isn't indicative of a "ranking."</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/hnmYCisZSoqGJUOIuGXw_q0sKj7i.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>#1)</p><p>Moneyer issues of Imperatorial Rome.
