[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 7530097, member: 110226"]I guess my favorite ancient, in terms of bright toning, at least in part, along with a pleasing design and strike, would be my Syracuse tetradrachm of Agathocles. I've had this coin for decades, stored in a paper envelope and polyliner. [ATTACH=full]1300111[/ATTACH] Here's an owl that I have owned since the mid 1980's, the first one I ever purchased.
