<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 8082649, member: 80952&quot;]It took me a while, as a beginner, to learn hwo to truly appreciate the provincial coins. Their mail disadvantage, as you mentioned, is the condition standard. Plus most of provincial coins (not your case) have &quot;standard&quot; reverses and after your collection grows adding standard reverses gets less interesting, unless you specialize on a certain area.</p><p><br /></p><p>But your selection is interesting and I read the topic with great interest.</p><p>Very hard to choose some favorites.</p><p>I have voted</p><p># 1. Roman Egypt, Claudius/Antonia&nbsp; - love the portraits, especially Antonia&#039;s - and not a portrait you see to often on coins</p><p>#3. Cilicia, Anazarbus (Domitian/Domitia)&nbsp; - attractive toning, good condition and another portrait you don&#039;t see every day</p><p>#6. Roman Egypt, Hadrian/Pharaoh (Amenemhat III) - for me, an extraordinary coin, seeing the image of a Pharaoh exactly like we imagine a Pharaoh.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it was very hard to choose a favorite, as Trajan with elephands quadriga and Hadrian with Mummiform Ptah-Sokar-Osiris are also interesting.</p><p>From 11-15 I particularily enjoyed&nbsp; Philip II&#039;s AE Tetrassarion and the Zodiac series coin.</p><p>A very good selection in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
