[QUOTE="Cobbler, post: 3183676, member: 97497"]You can all have lots of fun with this query from an amateur (Roman collection: currently just 6 coins but aiming to expand it) Back in the day when I had good ideas which I couldn’t possibly afford to carry through I had a notion of collecting a consistent set of denominations: One of each of Quadrans, semis, as, dupondius, sestertius, denarius and aureus all from the [U]same[/U] emperor in reasonable condition and at reasonable cost (OK maybe an aureus is a bit unrealistic!) Faced with that question, and accepting that there will be a number of possible variants within each denomination, which emperor(s) would you go for? I guess it would need to be during a period when the monetary system was reasonably stable. And a secondary question, which UK dealers would you recommend who could help to realise that aim?[/QUOTE]
