    Thanks guys.....I kinda like them all. Hard to decide/ the Milan coin was a mystery/ it was unsold at MDC Monaco Auction. I had my eye on it/ but thought it would go way past estimate of 3000 Euros. Two lesser/quality examples sold for much more in Ars Numismatica Auction, this one was graded much higher. Same thing happened in Jesus Vico auction, when a EBC+ (EF+) Tremissis of Visigoth King Tulgan remained unsold/ I snapped up that gem too! The Philip II Stater went over estimate/ but I could not resist the urge....

    What can one say about such beautiful coins. Even though I don't collect "moderns", there are some in this group I would love to have. Very nice assortment.
