Message:: [QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 2049110, member: 25357"]I enjoyed perusing other's top 10 lists.  So I went back and looked at my purchases for the year.  It was entertaining to see my collecting trends for the year.  I have been looking for direction as the year went on, and looking back realize I was flailing around a bit and kind of all over the map! But half the fun is in the journey right? I started out trying to complete my 12 Caesars Set(still need Otho and JC), then focused on Vrbs Roma coins for a while, Roman Women for a month or so. Here are a few of my favorite coins purchased in the first half of the collecting year. Galba.  I really like the portrait on this coin.  One of the tougher of the 12.
