I enjoy seeing these ancient artifacts even though they are not coin related I allow them. Hope it's OK with the forum staff.

Thanks jskirwin. Yea I have this pottery and one more pottery from 1800 BC which I bought from a dealer in Israel that one is from Canaanites. I also have a Amlash Short sword which is 1500 BC but beside these all others are coins. This Chinese Yangshao pottery I got from a dealer in England what impressed me and to be honest was the reason I got this was that it came with a certificate of lab TL tests on it from Oxford Labs which proved it is authentic and from 2500 BC.

I didn't get that many pre-1600 coins in 2018, so I can really show only 8 acceptable ones:  If anyone is interested, the filenames for the photos should identify each coin. (This is just a display of the 16 image files herded into a single Windows folder.) |

Thanks Ron! @pepactonius, that Lydian stater is pretty sweet.

@pepactonius, I figure about 2100 years' coverage in those 2018 acquisitions. Wow!  Of course I am especially fond of that Gdansk groschen  |

If this thread were in the "Main Coin Forum", the top 10 2018 acquisitions would span 2500+ years. I think only about 3-4 coins from this post would make it into the top 10 for 2018 (certainly the 1478 spitzgroschen, the early 1/24 stater, and probably the quadriga denarius). The top coin for 2018 would have to be the 2018 US 1oz palladium coin. |
