Very sad news indeed. Even though I didn't know him personally, I've greatly enjoyed his posts and even more his wonderful coins. He will be missed Q

Anonymous, Denarius - Rome mint, 115/114 BCE Head of Roma right in winged and crested corinthian helmet, X behind, [ROMA] below Helmeted Roma seated right on pile of shields, holding spear, two birds flying in field, she-wolf to right suckling twins at Roma's feet. 3,93 gr Ref : RCV # 164, RSC # 176, Crawford # 287/1 Next : corinthian helmet Q

The hockey puck would make my day any day. The whole is gorgeous though. Q

It sometimes happens, for some reason I can't explain myself. See below a french royal quart d'ecu minted for Henri III (not mine anymore) where the legend erroneously reads HENRICVCVS instead of HENRICVS with only a very light doubling on the N of FRAN on the opposite. Other than that, the die shift/double strike doesn't seem to affect much the devices Henri III (1574-1589) - Quart d'ecu 1583 - Atelier d'Angers (F) HENRICVCV8 . (sic !) III . D : G . FRAN . ET . POL . REX . 1583, croix fleurdelisée SIT . NOMEN . DNI . BENEDICTVM . 8, ecu de France couronné accosté de II et II, F a la pointe de l'ecu 9.36 gr Ref : Ciani # 1438 Q

Not sure a world state would be democratic though ! Q

Wow, @Ryro and @Curtisimo, I'm blown away with all the amazing stuff you guys received ! @bcuda is The Man !! Q

Great coin year. I like the Augustus/bull denarius since I first saw it in your post about it. Also Domna for its excellent reverse and Severus Alexander and its huge weight Well done Q

Cool dual portrait on the OP My actual coins of JC's And in preview, a coin I haven't in hand yet (I'm usually reluctant to post beforehand) but should be here in a few days (dealer's picture and description) GAUL. Vienna. Octavian, with Divus Julius Caesar. Dupondius (Bronze, 31 mm, 16.67 g, 12 h), circa 36 BC. •IMP•[CAESAR DIVI•]F [DIVI•IVLI] Bare heads of Divus Julius Caesar to left and Octavian to right, back to back. Rev. C•I•V Prow of galley to right, surmounted by superstructure and mast. RPC I 517. SNG Copenhagen 703-4. Q

Since you don't mention which Elisabeth ... Next : Elisabeth 1st Q

That's my opinion too : doubling of the first letter, ghost of the bun behing Poppaea's head and doubling of the chin below her actual chin Q

Nice selection and nice gesture. I do that sometimes, just buying coins for giving them away, I mean. Q

Back to ancients 😉 Marcus Antonius, Denarius - Mint travelling with Marcus Antonius, c.32-31 BCE ANT AVG III VIR RPC, Galley right LEG III, Legionary eagle (aquila) between two standards 2,83 gr Ref : HCRI #350, Cohen #28 Next : Aquila Q

That sort of thing : Q

I was afraid of what the end of the sentence would read !! 😀 Q

Varied list of coins, M Aurelius and Commodus stand out Q

I do like those lists of coins completely out of my range, they are mind opening ! Nice selection Q

Even though Lugdunum is almost "my city", I still lack one of those in my trays. For some reason I parted with one of them 25 years ago : stupid me !! Q

From a visual point of view, my vote will go to #5 for its tremendous reverse scene. I like that specialized approach to a collection Q

I voted #1, 7 and 8 but could have voted for any of them all the same. #11 isn't bad either ! Excellent selection Q

I think I know that coin from Lugdunum quite well 🙂 as a new comer in my trays for three weeks now !! Q

Beautiful ! All and every one of them Q

Your #1 would be mine too. Interesting group of coins. Q

Speechless !! Q
