Latest addition is Constantine The Greats Dad, Constantius I. The coin is pretty much black in color, was very hard to get a photo of. [IMG]...
An emperor I have neglected to add to my collection. Finally found one I liked at my price point. Also wanted one of these types instead of the...
Cigar box is always good.
Another set is "Coins with Crosses". A good page on them is below: http://augustusmath.hypermart.net/crosses.html Fun thing about ancients, so...
Another idea is to build a set of reverses for an emperor or even empress you like. I have a soft spot for Lucilla & Crispina and set out to build...
Thats true, was gonna add Greeks tets. are not cheap, but didn't.
You could go what I tend to be known for, Empresses. From the first ancient I bought I found he had a wife and had to acquire one and that one...
Love the circulated cameo look to it. I have a few ancients like that. It's my preferred type of toning.
Nice score, congrats.
I remember that thread, good score for you! Congrats. They are neat.

Bargain hunting, and if your looking to had harder emperors like Caligula or Claudius in silver, then I can see the $10,000 mark. I used copper in...
It just looks fake, with the lettering and such, I don't like the look of it.
Not really, we buy/trade and even gift during x-mas from each other regularly here. And my 12 caesars set was less then $2000 total.
Bad news, that sucker is a fake! Hope you can return it. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?pos=-2233
