Beautiful coins, love all the Neros.

A great group, congrats.

It could use a cleaning, but nothing too serious like some of your other finds.

I present "Nightmare Vitellius", he's seen a lot in his 2000+ years. Now, he worse for wear and has had the dreaded "Bronze Disease" several times. He's been in remission for about 2 years now, but still needs his several months check up, just to be sure. Hang in here, buddy, I am pulling for you and will do what I can to keep you comfortable for the next care taker. Vitellius (69 A.D.)

Wonderful, love #3 & 4 the best.

Very nice.

Nice coin for the year.

Hope everyone has a Happy Holidays too!

Great coins.

Took me well over 10 years to find a focus, but even then I will still buy something that may catch my eye. It also helps I have gotten picker as I've gotten older.

Neat coin, especially the reverse.

Common Bavaria Thaler

Some wonderful coins. Few of those I need myself. Maybe next year.

It's a very handsome example & it'd no wonder it did well. It would have probably done even better now.

Antoninus Pius (138 - 161 A.D) AR Denarius O: ANTONINVS AVG PI - VS PP TR P COS III, laureate head right. R: OPI AVG; Ops seated left, holding scepter and resting her head on right hand. Rome Mint, 140-143 A.D. 3.43g 18mm RIC III 77, R2

No, it's fairly common for the type.

Can't do a best of 2022 since this is the only coin I bought this year, but it's a type I have wanted for many years. Septimius Severus (193 - 211 A.D.) AR Tetradrachm SELEUCIS and PIERIA Laodicea ad Mare O: AVT KAI CЄOVHPOC CЄ, laureate and draped bust right, seen from side.

Can't say I am a fan of the new change.
