Hi guys... Drawing towards the end of 2018 I thought it would be a nice thread to show your top 10 coin buys of the year.... Thanks to all who have helped identify and give valuable information over the past 12 months..  Here's mine, its been a surprising mix this year...Paul  |

Good stuff... particularly like the Elymais type... I have had a very quiet year for coins... just buying sovereigns really so nothing to report here. Happy Xmas all.

Anyone else going to show their top 10 ?...Paul Sure, I'll play. Truth be told, over the past two years or so I've probably enjoyed the hunt for coins from Elymais more so than coins of Parthia. Although, of course, I still love Parthians. Had to make hard choices below. I picked up a lot of Elymaeans this year - here are, perhaps, my favorite 10 - there are others I really like but am leaving out. Also, I'm going to break the rules and show a separate small (5 coin) grouping of perhaps my favorite Parthians this year - so that they don't feel left out. Not shown here is a very rare (1 of five known) diobol of Orodes II that I picked up - a special coin, especially in light of my research into the fractions...but, again, making hard choices here...   |
