<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3300564, member: 93702&quot;]I have just reached my 1 year anniversary of Ancient Coin collecting..&nbsp; this has been extremely educational and rewarding (a big thank you to ALL on here!). Exciting not only due to what I have learned but realizing the amount of learning ahead of me - it is wonderful... this is a path I had never expected to travel. I have not collected coins previously - I&#039;ve never collected anything at all previously! Then add understanding attributions in Latin, Greek, then geography, (of course History - which is my love) photography, lighting, Photoshop ... what did I get myself into???</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway - my wife thinks I am crazy!</p><p><br /></p><p>But after my initial scatter gun approach of &quot;grab everything I can afford&quot; I have finally settled on a collecting focus (for now). </p><p><br /></p><p>My focus for 2019 is to collect the &quot;Adoptive Emperors&quot; in Sestartii. I am also a pretty OK amateur woodworker so simultaneously I will be working on a display cabinet - just for this collection. The coins I can afford will be of mid-range grade and probably not acceptable pieces for many on here .. but I am Ok with that. You work with what you have!!</p><p><br /></p><p>My question to you good folk: .. I picture this for my collection: Sestertius of: Nerva (costly - maybe a bit hopeful), Trajan, Hadrian, Antonius Pius, Lucius Verus, Marcus Aurelius and Commodus.</p><p>Perhaps an As of Lucius Aelius - never Augustus.. so I can deal with only an As (and save some $$).</p><p><b><span style="color: #ff0000">But I know nothing of the women/wives/daughters involved .. are they acceptable targets or so rare that I should just keep to my list above. non-sestertius is what i am thinking.</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Basically I am drawing out my cabinet and need to understand how may coins should be considered.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the long post... but I was thinking it through as I typed!</p><p><br /></p><p>I better add a coin!!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]874232[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
