Some wonderful coins @Collect89 . I would be hard pressed to pick out just one as my favorite. Congratulations on a great collecting year!
Great top "20" Collect89 You had a super collecting year. All of them are beautifull and unique. Wish you a Happy coin 2020! John
it was the same for me with your top 10. I remember liking your Septimus Severus because of the Elephant wearing cuirass. Each of your coins had some feature that drew my attention to it. these are the little features on my coins that spoke to me: On the Athens Tet it looks like Athena has a feather in her cap. The other Athena looks proof in hand. The Bactrian Obol pairs perfectly with a previously purchased Bactrian Tet. You can easily see Athena’s full crest on the tiny Pharsalos hemiobol without magnification. It also has provenance showing precisely where and when it was found in the ground. I could go on and on about each coin and never pick a favorite. Each coin in every collection speaks to all of us in some way.
Like’emALL! All my type of collecting! That is a great group of coins... Gotta drop my Daric here too! PERSIA Achaemenid Daris I-Xerxes II 485-420 BCE AV Daric 14mm 8.3g Lydo Milesian Sardes king wearing kidaris kandys quiver spear bow Incuse Carr Type IIIb Group A-B pl XIII 27
great coins @Collect89 , I like the elephant hat and gold Daric best. You found a couple of super owls.
Terrific 20!! My favourites are the feathery-winged Colt and that awesome Bactrian obol. Have a great 2020!
Great year, Collect! I particularly like your itty bitties-- the baby Bactrian, Lampsakos, and Pharsalos. The Thasos satyr is one I want to get in as high grade as possible just because I'm gobsmacked that ancient Thracians decided to show that act on a coin! Must have . The Himyarites is lovely. Nice full reverse on that Sewer Goddess denarius . The Aspendos stater is struck better than most of the hoard coins currently flooding the market. The Persian daric is awesome . Edited because I forgot to mention that fantastic Taras!
Great coins @Collect89! Not my field of collecting, but i like two athens tets, golden daric, beautiful dolphin rider, and a lovely L. Mussidius Longus denarius! Have a great 2020!
