<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 3744824, member: 57495"]The Gortyna is my absolute favorite, but beyond that, I haven’t ranked the rest. What I’d say is that even though the difference between the #2 and #10 would be pretty infinitesimal, I do have a softer spot for the Cleo, JC, A-Pi, Festival, and Lokris. You echoed my own feelings when you pointed out that the Lokris is not just a pretty coin, but also cool because it depicts a character from the Iliad. I love mythological types! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The question about measuring a "best collecting year" is an interesting one.
