<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 5368610, member: 97383&quot;]Ryro, You had an exceptional year scoring some great coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! My favorite is #3, with the Sea goddess on the obverse &amp; a wonderful depiction of Neptune on the reverse <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I&#039;m a sucker for serrate denarii too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. 2nd place has to go to #1, the huge chunk of Roman bronze <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I&#039;m baffled why anyone found a need to test cut this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Isn&#039;t this unusual for a large cast Republican bronze <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? Great patina on this coin too. My 3rd favorite is the lovely sestertius of Marcus Aurelius you gave your father <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Great portrait on this coin &amp; it&#039;s blessed with an attractive uniform patina. I hope the &quot;old man&quot; appreciates this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
