ambr0zie Posted December 1, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 1, 2022 A great year! To follow the tradition, I would choose the Nero denarius (great portrait), the Vespasian Judea Capta and the Orbiana (magnificent coin). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limes Posted December 1, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2022 Wow! That's a huge haul in 2022! And all are exquisite coins as well, beautiful! They are not in your top 10, but for example your coins of Domitian, Nerva and Verus are marvellous and really stood out for me. When it comes to your top 10, I really like the portrait of Nero, with a little bit of chin hair shown. And your tribute penny is a beautiful specimen as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should finally be banned from the forum! It is so depressing to see your great pictures and collages - it shows me every time my own inability to make good pictures. I always lose the desire to take the camera myself - I know that the result will never be like that. 😭😭😭😭🤣 PS: Beautiful coins - once again wonderfully presented. 👍😍 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fantastic coins - congratulations, but Saloninus is absolutely fantastic specimen, these are usually poorly struck 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qcumbor Posted December 1, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2022 Gee, what a year @DR ! Great acquisition, taken one after the other, but the whole is really impressive, well done ! And that statue of Herennia illustrating her coin is pure beauty Q 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor kirispupis Posted December 1, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted December 1, 2022 Amazingly successful year you've had and some stunning coins! I came close to purchasing a similar Nero Salus (not at Roma), but I just couldn't justify spending more than $200 on a non-Greek coin. 🙂 My favorite, though, is probably the Tiberius. He's one I haven't picked up yet, mostly because decent coins of his typically go over my budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted December 1, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted December 1, 2022 I have to agree that Herennia's statue looks kind of hot, especially for a mid third century babe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di Nomos Posted December 2, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 2, 2022 I'll be honest......I'm jealous! The coins are great, but the presentation is wonderful.
