My Humble Top 10 of 2020

I think that picture looks great. I might recommend shooting through a 20x magnifying loupe, that’s what I always do and it really brings out details

Nice group..With a good variety of rulers..
Particularly like the Lucius Verus still an Emperor I've yet to acquire...
Congrats on a good year.

 

Nice group. This is the kind of coins I tend to collect.

That Antoninus Pius 900th anniversary coin is interesting - I have the elephant version, but was not aware of the lion. Here's my pachyderm:



Antoninus Pius Æ As
(148-149 A.D.)
Rome Mint
[ANTO]NINVS AVG PIVS PP TR P XII Laureate head right / MVNIFICENTA AVG, elephant standing right, COS IIII [SC] in exergue.
(900th anniversary of Rome)
RIC 862a; RCV 4308.
(9.62 grams / 25 mm)

 

Hip hip hooray for the Sev Alex! Your #1 is on my want list. Congrats on your inaugural year, I hope you get many decades of joy out of the hobby!

 

Great group, with plenty of Antonine coins! I love the Antonine period and its coinage. My favorites are the Faustina I to which you only gave an "honorable mention," and the denarii of Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius with the Providentia reverse types.

 

You're off to a great start @Bradley Trotter and your collection has great variety! Congrats on your collecting year!

 

Nice coins, I like Gallienus.

 

In all honesty, I'm quite surprised about the number of members who've said that the Gallienus antoninianus was their favorite. What drew me to that coin when I purchased it was the portrait style, which admittedly seemed unusually comical for even 3rd century standards. Not to mention, I only paid $6.50 for it, which makes it the second cheapest coin on my list.
