Top 4 of 2016 from Volodya (There's always someone!)

Well, I've only bought seven coins and I lack pics of a couple and one doesn't make the list, so...

Still nice looking coins!

 

Wow, exceptional! Beautiful coins.

 

Well, if you're only going to buy a handful of coins for the year ... make them count - which you truly did. Stunning in every sense of the word.

 

If not best of type, then all are in the running.

 

Great looking coins!

 

Holy crap, that Marc Anthony Legionary!! LOVE it. I have always wanted one.

 

All great, but wow, that Clodius Vestalis seems exceptionally well-struck for the issue. Want!

 

They are all great; however, seeing as how I am collecting the MA legionary series, I'll take it first. But really, I would love any one (or all) of these.

 

Nice little lot.

 

Excellent group. I like the way you find well developed facial features on the tiny reverse characters!

 

Stellar coins, that legionary denarius is awesome.

 

As usual, your coin purchases are simply superb!!!

I find it impossible to go beyond choosing three of the four as my 'favorite' LOL

 

A wicked looking Marc Anthony.. it's like Uncirculated

 

I am in awe of Volodya's disciplined approach. Looking at his exceptional coins, as well as other posters' top 10s, I can't help but think that I buy too many coins each year! If I limited myself to coins that would make my top 10 list, I could assemble a spectacular, bigh-quality Roman Republican collection in 20-30 years. It's the often repeated quality-over-quantity debate. I have a tendancy to fall somewhere in the middle of the quality-quantity scale, and collecting for me is a constant internal struggle between two collector "personalities" - the quantity buyer vs. the quality buyer. This results in frequent buyer's remorse, particularly after coin shows, when I feel I could have bought one "great" coin if I'd skipped several "okay" coins.

It might be fun if some of us posted our 10 biggest regret purchases of the year - the coins we wish we hadn't wasted our money on. Volodya, of course, is excused from that exercise.

 

V, super nice!!. Can't wait to see your 2017 coins.

Very nice - 'only-four', but an amazing four!
I'll trade you half of my collection for the Legio VIII.
A simply fantastic piece!

 

Cha-ching!! ... congrats on your amazing Fab-4

 

Quality over quantity !
Yes, you're right @Volodya, those are dream coins any day !

Congrats and thanks for shring
