<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 24482522, member: 24754"]My collection spans from Caesar to Theodosius I's sons, and will ultimately consist of 150 coins. At this point, I'm sitting at 121/150, so still 29 to go. While I'm on the lookout for any of them, I suppose the top 5 that I most look forward to landing are:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1. <u>Lepidus/Octavian Denarius</u></b> - Last coin needed to flesh out both Triumvirates, too bad there are no bust coins of Crassus <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>2. <u>Antinous</u></b> - Any type that implies the youth and looks. Imperial boy lovers make fascinating tales for the modern folk haha.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>3. <u>Didius Julianus</u></b> - The most generally expensive individual among the persons that I still need, so it'll feel good to check this one off.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>4. <u>Shekel of Tyre</u></b> - Last coin that I need to finish the "Biblical" subset within the collection. Overpriced IMO though, so it's difficult to pull the trigger <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>5. <u>Augustus Aureus</u></b> - I want to have at least one example of each denomination somewhere in the collection, and I'm still missing an aureus. Figured, why not make it Augustus! But, considering my budget, this is a bit of an extreme outlier and probably won't happen anytime soon.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Here are the remaining coins that I need beyond those listed above:</u></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Sextus Pompey (Neptune) ------------------ Allectus</p><p>Agrippina the Elder -------------------------- Britannicus</p><p>Pertinax -------------------------------------- Aemilian</p><p>Nero Claudius Drusus ----------------------- Constantius Gallus</p><p>Livilla (Pietas Dupondius) ------------------- Titus Tatius</p><p>Claudius -------------------------------------- Tacitus</p><p>Gnaeus Pompey Jr (Roma) ------------------ Carus</p><p>Livia ------------------------------------------ Carinus</p><p>Honorius ------------------------------------- Helena</p><p>Plotina ---------------------------------------- Fausta</p><p>Severus II ------------------------------------ Jovian</p><p>Aquilia Severa -------------------------------- Procopius[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
