[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 3918916, member: 96898"]Thanks for all of the kind words! I appreciate it. It’s particularly good to see that each of the ten coins were named as favorites. I guess that illustrates the great numismatic range represented in this forum. One of the best things about CoinTalk is that it brings together expertise and creates exchange between ancient and medieval collectors focusing on very different subfields of coinage. We see a lot of different and complementing coin tastes and collecting styles here, and this makes this place so enjoyable for me. Do I sense you being drawn to the dark side’s darker side? Well, it’s not too late to branch out… :) Thanks for the compliments! I am glad and grateful you played that part – thanks to you, AMCC 2 was simply a blast, and I’m already looking forward to AMCC 3 next year. Don’t worry – they simply are in chronological order. Medievals are and stay a main focus. Also, I very much like the Cologne penny and the Norman coins. Those follaros with Kufic inscriptions are fascinating. That’s exactly how I feel when seeing these lists! But if I had to give a closely qualified ranking of these coins, it would indeed look very similar to yours. I’m glad that [USER=90248]@Spaniard[/USER] and many others like the Republican and Imperatorial denarii. They became somewhat of a collecting focus this year. [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER], [USER=80147]@Ancient Aussie[/USER], and [USER=106617]@Yorkshire[/USER], thanks for the compliments on the “owl.” It really is somewhat of a new centerpiece in my Greek collection. [USER=77976]@Nathan401[/USER], @ Shea19, it’s good to see that I’m not alone in my appreciation of expressive portraits! The bracteates are a complex but extremely satisfying collecting field. It doesn’t astonish me that they appeal to collectors with other sophisticated specializations such as you, [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER], [USER=77704]@panzerman[/USER], and [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER].[/QUOTE]
