[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3949267, member: 83845"]I have read through this list several times and every time I come away with the same impression. The curation of the list just seems so sophisticated. There are so many points of interest I would have missed without being shown. Great year Doug. I really enjoyed reading your Top 10. #1 - x6 overstrike - What a fabulous overstrike. The undertype looks clear enough that it wouldn’t be out of the question to find a die match for it. What a cool coin. #4 - ancient wire - I have never seen this before where the wire from an ancient jewelry conversion survives. Fascinating. #9 - J Domna denarius - This is a nice coin with a very interesting reverse type. Coins that come from friends and fellow collections that we know also seem to be more enjoyable (at least to me). I also think it appropriate to give a mention to your fabulous macro photos. That is a wonderful photo showing the die engraving technique on coin #3.[/QUOTE]
