[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 5144046, member: 83845"]I think you underestimated your collecting year, Doug. Some of these are the kinds of coins you don’t get multiple chances at. My favorites: #4 Tarkondimotos - My favorite coins are the ones that tell a story and this is a coin that has an individual story to tell. The theory that the countermark was meant to cover up a bad bet made by the family is absolutely fascinating. This coin was lucky to escape the eraser of historical revision. #1 Clodius Albinus / Septimus Severus - This is another story coin. It’s an ironic final insult to Albinus that he will have to stare forever at the man who outwitted him. #9 C. Renius Denarius - Im a bit ashamed to pick the pretty one as a favorite but this is a nice coin with a pleasant tone. Those republicans would put anything in front of a chariot :facepalm::D[/QUOTE]
