    What is the one ancient coin that you take out of the flip (or however you store it) and look at the most?

    Post pictures, and tell us why you choose to play with that one over the others?

    Here is the one I take out of the flip the most to look at. The reason for this one is it's the only ancient I have so far!

    Hmm, honestly I leave the new arrival out of the flip for a few days and hold it/enjoy it and sometimes look at it with a loupe and after the newness wears off I place the tag I make and coin in the flip and in storage it goes.

    But I look at my coins all the time in their slabs or flips.

    I have hyperhidrosis so sweaty hands isnt good for coins. I hold them when I have a good dry day, lol.

    I look at mine all the time too, but ones I've handled the most would be these 3. The size of and feel of these are one of the reasons why.

    I probaly examine these 2 a father and Son. Phillip of Macedon and Alexander the Great. The history speaks to me and makes me think about what realy is important in the long run. :)

    moneyer12 i just love UK coins.......

    i leave my ancients in their trays as i think that too much handling is bad for the coins, even with gloves.
