[QUOTE="Michael Stolt, post: 5294034, member: 100445"]I'm barely able to make the list as I've received precisely 10 coins so far this year. I'm awaiting two more, but they won't arrive until 2021 as they await export papers from Italy. Even though there is a wide range of quality and rarity I'm choosing to just post them chronologically as I value them all just as much. The lists starts of with some beautiful Roma / Dioscuri types, and ends with a mix of AR and Æ types issued by Mark Antony. I hope you enjoy them, happy holidays!
