My top 10 for 2018

Breathtaking. Here’s a transcript of me scrolling down:

“Oh, that’s my favorite...”
“No, that's my favorite...”
“No, that's my favorite...”
“No, that's my favorite...”

If I were to steal one of these coins while you weren’t looking, it would be the Augustus Cistophoros.

I’m looking for an Otho now to complete my 12 Caesars set, and I measure their quality but how many curls I can see in his wig. LOL. Yours pretty much has full curls. 10/10. I might have to steal that one too.

I would take them all (would be a pity to dispatch them)

Wow what a coins, great year @Terence Cheesman

Sometimes these kind of posts make me think to change my collection strategy, to switch from buying many more common beautiful coins to few big/rare and amazing looking coins. The Metapontion stater looks gorgeous, I want to aim for a Metapontion nomos or who knows a stater in 2019. And the Kos tetradrachm is on point, for 2019 I was already planning to either get a bronze coin or drachm from there, a tetradrachm is a bit out of my budget unfortunately

 

HOLY CRAP!! What a group!

Man, Demeter is looking into my soul! Wow!

 

great collection

 

All are wonderful to the point it would be easier to point out the one that is overshadowed by the other nine. I consider the reverse centering of the Otho to be really sad since it loses the word OTHONIS and we have so few coins with the ruler's name as part of the reverse. When it comes to style, I like the as. It is much more than a big hunk of metal. Thanks for sharing!

 

Wow I really love this. What a stunning design on both sides. Lovely quality too. A real beaut!

 

Exceptional coins.

 

Wow, looks like 2019 was a productive year for you. There isn’t a coin on the list that is absolutely superb, but my favourite has to be that Aes Grave As! Really exceptional quality for such a cast piece. Also love the portrait and crab on that tet from Kos!

 

A great set of coins!

I like the Kos tetradrachm the best, myself!

That stater is amazing! and the Augustus cistophoric tet is so pretty, what style! fantastic coins.

 

I had to put my eyes back in my head pick up my jaw and wipe the drool off my key board. Damn fine year you had. To say anything else might get edited from a mod.
Awsome coins

 

LOL...
