[QUOTE="Spargrodan, post: 5276097, member: 109905"]I'll just join in even though I never reached 10 new coins this year. First I want to say a big thank you to all of you awesome people on CT. I joined in January this year and started to collect again after a break of 15 years. The welcome I recieved was super friendly and people are soo helpfull, keep spreading the friendly atmosphere! My focus has been rare Flavians in as high grade as possible with a budget of max 100 euro/month. As seen below buying books took up half of what I could spend this year. The budget has made the hunt tricky, who doesn't want a nice looking aureus or a tetradrachm from Sicily? Moving forward I will change my focus to "appeal" and "historical events". It gives me more room to explore other areas and hopefully create a fun and dynamic collection I really enjoy. I will be very selective, quality over quantity so there might not be many coins next year neither but hopefully ones that I really like. [ATTACH=full]1220861[/ATTACH] My mobile camera is totally crap, like taking photos with a potato. All coins looks better in hand. Anyhow here are the coins I managed to acquire this year starting with the one I favour the most. Do you agree or have other favourites?
