DR’s Favorite and Only Ancient Coin Purchases of the Year

[LONGINUS]

Great thread and great posts, everyone!

Here is my modest assortment of ancient acquisitions since posting last year’s “Top 10.” Since I only purchased 12 ancient coins since December 2023, I decided to show all of them.

The coin headings are color-coded: green for Indo-Scythian, blue for Judaean, and red for Roman Empire.

Nice selection @LONGINUS! I like that Probus in particular: looks like it retains fully intact silvering. Congrats!

I do like your Indo-scythian coins the most. Nice selection overall DR

Happy holydays !

Some great additions, my favorite is the Philip I, double denarius 😊!

Great to hear from you, John!

I've been collecting Roman silver (and silvered) lately. Here's where I'm at — check this out— https://www.numisforums.com/topic/7342-my-roman-empire-collection-and-judaean-collection-are-neck-and-neck/#comment-96150

They're all nice!

Love the unique presentation! And going with that theme I would vote for the second one as a favorite. Don't see square coins that often.

You had a great year, Ray! All very lovely, but I especially like the square Azes.

I am with Q

I like the Indo-Sycthian coins best/ the Postumus I really like too!

Congratulations on your beautifull "dozen". Nice presentation!

Nice group! 

My pick is the Philip I antoninianus - well struck, with a nice portrait and interesting reverse.
