<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3128284, member: 19463"]I'll work on a list but do have an opinion to offer generally. Lets say we decided we want a Flavian coin in the set. Most people would say the coolest of all Flavian coins is the Titus commemorative showing the Colosseum. Second are the Judaea Capta coins (all beginners see the fakes of these sooner or later). Most Flavian coins are what I disparagingly call 'Someone standing there' but that is what most beginners will see. What should we show as the one and only coin to be interesting AND available? </p><p>I like the piggies. This one is Titus but we would probably want a higher grade Vespasian. They are not as rare as a Capta coin but still have a Judaea connection. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]797557[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>....or is a better example of a god standing there better?
