Let me think about what else I need from your collection and get back to you.

 

Kick @$$ group of coins!

Love that high relief didrachm! Dig that little 5 mm monogram! Sharp! I'll give some love to the Leopold I thaler as well, that's a great lookin' coin.

 

Fantastic Coins and Historical info Kudos!

 

Nice coins, I actually like the hog mouth the best. It’s still on my want list.

 

Thanks, guys... good to see appreciation spreading up and down the list. Even to the <gasp> modern! Sacrilege!!

Maybe that means it's safe to reveal my #1 now?

 

(Kidding. )

 

It doesn't even have a First Release label or green bean sticker. Of course it didn't make the #1 spot.

 

LOL!! I had to look that stuff up. Slabs are so weird. But I guess I see how they trigger the collector mentality... Do you collect broken slabs, @TIF?

 

Hmm. Looks like I do!

 

Wow @Severus Alexander, I was litterally blown away with the coins you show. Every time I scrolled down and see a new one, I was thinking "well, that would be my #1 any time !". That is 14 #1 so far

Q

 

Oh geez, sorry about that!!

Seriously though, Q, thanks... I'm glad to have replicated in you something of the feeling I get whenever you post a coin! All of yours blow me away. (Well, except maybe for a couple from Dombes... )

 

What fantastic coins! I'm perhaps a bit *too* excited to find out what no. 1 is. End the suspense!

 

OK, OK, I promise I will reveal it soon! Here's a quarter of it.

 

Those are some great coins @Severus Alexander and quite an eclectic group too. I love the didrachm of Rhodes and the Oktobol of Ptolemy III Euergetes. Both a wonderful coins.

 

Can anybody tell what my #1 coin is from the quarter above? I think that amount of the reverse is diagnostic...

 

My guess is Isiusiisiuisii.

The greatest Roman emperor EVER.

 

LOL! Yes, he is a classic!!

I've now turned this into a CT anniversary giveaway... post your guesses in this thread!

 

Constantine campgate from trier
CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG

 

Constantine is right, but it's not a campgate!
