So far, I haven't been able to buy anything all year. It's very discouraging.

Here is one of the first, an upgrade on the denarius that represents Commodius in my "all emperors" collection.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?7 -
Canada 1 cent 1859 Wide 9/8 in CCCS 63RB (seller's photos, but I think it should cross with our hosts at 62 or 63). A very scarce die pair, this one in mint state. In my die catalog for these, published in 2008, my random sampling indicated that these made up about 2% of the W9/8 mintage. The obverse die broke very early.

Not really a purchase, but a successful crossover to our hosts. 1833 Greek one lepton MS65+ RD , population one with one finer.
!
And 5 more from Stack’s including two gold coins, a French 1857A PCGS MS64 and a Greek 1884-A 20 drs gold that I also own in PCGS MS64 but this one was in an old small Anacs holder and it reminded me of the time when my entire collection was inside them.
Finally a few notes from a very old Darksider, but young age wise, now an auctioneer with the only US platform devoted to World banknotes. Here’s a Turkish one (PMG 63) that I swear to you, it looks like a carpet if not put into scale. The joys of the unfocused collector.

No kidding. The pre-auction estimate got left back in another time zone pretty fast with that one.

1853 Peru 4 Escudos Top Pop. Ex Lissner Collection. Lost it at auction, found it on the floor 2 months later.

1839 Bolivia 1 Scudo Top Pop Ex Whittier Collection. I just love the design of these pieces. Found out that the phoenix design was used in the constitution of Peru in 1823, and also it was used as logo of a Peruvian newspaper in late 1820's, which criticized Bolivia during those years. Interesting that Bolivia used that design on this coin, when the Peru Bolivia confederation was getting dissolved. The design Bolivia used has the Phoenix facing the other side.

Don't you just hate to buy from dealers who outbid their clients?
That said, for this coin, I would have!

Unfortunately came away without anything from the NYINC auctions. Prices were strong in the material I follow
Did win this a couple days ago though, which will serve as a consolation prize, and my first purchase for 2022!
My current "Box of 20"

It's looking like it's going to be a year filled with numismatic eye candy given all of the beautiful coins already purchased, and we're just in January.
