  1. @robinjojo said let the hair fly, so….
  2. Easy choice for me. My 90-coin collection is solely Imperatorial and from Day 1 there was one coin that I wanted above all others: It’s not as nice as @AncientJoe’s, but it’s pedigreed back to 1917. It’s been in several well-known collections - Johann Horsky, Spencer-Churchill, and John Balderston. I was very fortunate because when I bought the coin in 1984, I had no pedigree information about the coin.
  3. My recent visit to Egypt inspired me to “sell the farm” for this purchase This bronze Osiris is nearly a foot tall, completely intact, and unrepaired. The photos are the seller’s - Hixenbaugh Ancient Art, NYC. I’ve always been fascinated by Egyptian art, but after visiting, my interest went to a whole new level. Osiris has a place of honor in our house and I’m humbled to be his custodian for this portion of his life. He’s from the Third Intermediate Period, 1070-664 BC.
  4. I’ll contribute ( I guess I’ll do this rather than bid on the EID MAR aureus now).
  5. I picked this one up several years ago
