<p>[QUOTE=&quot;singig, post: 5227736, member: 93672&quot;]This is my first top 10 posted on CT, 2020 was a good year for my coin collection, because of the COVID-19 lockdown I had more time and I spend more money on coins. During the year I have bought 45 individual coins and three lots of uncleaned coins. Unfortunately no coin from the uncleaned lots is part of my top 10, maybe I will be luckier next year <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Except the first two RR denarii, the rest of the coins was already posted on different CT threads, many of them are common types only two have a higher degree of rarity: the Trajan dupondius and the Gallienus sestertius. The coins are arranged only in chronological order. I hope you will like my top 10 for this year.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Wishing you good health and happiness in the coming year !</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>#1&nbsp; L.
