[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3554719, member: 76194"]We are almost at the mid-point of 2019, which got me last night to sort through all my 2019 purchases and re-examine my acquisitions. So I thought I'd take advantage of that and share my top 3 favorites so far.... 1) Marc Antony and Octavian denarius [ATTACH=full]944882[/ATTACH] What's not to like about this coin? It's got two of the most important politicians of the late Republic on it, as well as the first emperor. Honestly, it's probably my favorite of all my Republic coinage, barely edging out my Legionary denarius purchase from last year. 2) C. Fonteius denarius. [ATTACH=full]944883[/ATTACH] Man, this coin is a winner. I love double faces on coinage, and the galley on the reverse is sweet. 3) Lysimachus drachm [ATTACH=full]944885[/ATTACH] The history behind this coin is enough to make it a winner. Add to that the control marks on the reverse and it is that much more special. It is a beautiful combination. Feel free to share your top coins of 2019 so far.[/QUOTE]
