The stats in this old thread are quite interesting, for example, quite often members' favourite or most viewed coins have no bearing at all on the coin's value, condition or even the member's main collecting focus.

Although it has been a couple of years since anyone added to this thread I just wondered if anyone else found it interesting and might update their old post or if any of the newer members might like to add their own gallery stats to it.

I find it interesting as well. In my gallery the top three viewed have consistently been the following:

1st, The First 12

2nd, Elagabalus aka Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus aka Varius Avitus Bassianus

3rd, Galba

Tied for second place with 9 comments:

Vespasian with Titus as Caesar (4th most viewed)
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-98231

Vespasian Fourée
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-103021

Most expensive (although perhaps not most valuable) coin? I'm not 100% sure but I imagine it would be either:

Julius Caesar
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-89664

or

Judaea, First Revolt Shekel, Year 2
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-103765

And my favorite? Again, not really sure, but perhaps this denarius. I find the reverse hauntingly beautiful.

I would like to express thanks to Joe for hosting this site and making the gallery freely available for us. I always view my purchases from forum as not only adding great coins to my collection but also helping to keep my gallery up and running!

I see that this hasn't been posted on for almost 4 years, which is a pity, as it looks like a great topic! So, let's see if we can start it up again! ;D +++

What is your most viewed coin? Is it your favorite coin? If not, which coin is your favorite?

My most viewed coin is my unusual antoninianus of Valerian, with a left facing bust. I haven't seen many of these, so I suspect it is also my 'rarest' coin.

However, this is not my favourite coin; my favourite either has to be my Mariniana antoninianus!

Which coin are your surprised has so few views?

Probably my coins of Valerian II (15 views) or my Salonina (5 views). Both are in great shape!

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-151913

Which coin have you paid the most to acquire? (Don't tell us prices)
EASILY my Mariniana; it cost me more than 2 times my second most expensive - my Aemilian.
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-151852
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-153135

Let's see if we can get this topic going again! +++ +++

My old 2011 post was a sea of dead links so I have updated it. :angel:
