    So again, no falling horseman coins, that'll be separate list for later. It was hard picking 10 none FH to make 10; the last three are not as special to me as the rest.

    Here they are in order.

    Thanks all! I was really happy when I found the Argos. If not for horseman, I'd focus more on coins with dogs ans wolves.

    A good looking dog @Alegandron !

    All of 'em nice additions. I like that Otho and Argos. If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't think you collected Fallen Horsemen at all! :D
