Thank you! I was very fortunate that I had some extra income this year and also that my wife didn't freak out at me spending it on coins.

 

I will chose the Anastasius I solidus as the winner , very nice year , Congratulations !

 

1, 2 & 3 for me ( i don't get over excited by yellow )

The busts on all 3 are superb

All in all a very good year

 

Nice aquisitions

Better to keep coin purchases a secret Macrinus/ Balbinus are affordable in Silver/ not so in gold.

great coins, my favorites are your first and last

 

Campbell, Indeed you had a great year ! My favorites are the Valentinian I solidus, the Constantius II siliqua, & the Maximinus I denarius with the wonderful portrait .

 

Nice purchases this year, @Campbell Miller.

My favorites are the Constantius II solidus (very nice portrait), Valentinian I solidus (your profile pic), and the Macrinus Denarius.

 

Great group of coins! If I had to choose a favorite I'd say it's the Constantius II solidus.

 

Wow. It's difficult to choose, but if I had to, I think my favorites would be the Maximian argenteus, the Constantius II siliqua, and the Valentinian I solidus. Three different denominations, and all superb.

 

Lovely additions and some very nice gold ones too. Difficult to pick favorites, but I'd go for the Maximian argenteus and Valentinian solidus. There's something interesting about the Justinian I AV Tremissis too, is it just that crude? Or is it a barbarous imitation?

 

That sir, is an "unstatement" in my unprofessional opinion! Well done! Thanks for sharing.

 

I love that Constantius II solidus with the facing portrait. Wonderfully full reverse making use of all the space.

 

I like portrait on Maximinus denarius, also I like Maximian argenteus and Valentinian solidus.

 

Congrats on the fine year! Some of my favorites are the Max Thrax denarius (for the chin ), the Balbinus denarius, the Constantius II solidus, and the Valentinian I solidus.
