<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1412948, member: 19463"]I do like the Lucilla, too. I must admit that you got my attention when you said you where leaving FH. What is now expendable that you will be sending to Randy and I? My 'mint set' is down to -1 since my only Trier is barbarous. For others wishing to compete in the race for the falling horsemen: The type was made by 13 official mints. One of those mints changed names in the middle of the series so you probably want a coin 14 (Arles and Constantia are the same place). Everyone needs a barbarous so that is 15 coins to make a set for Constantius II. Constans, Constantius Gallus and Julian II each issued the type but not from all of the mints. Magnentius issued the type from at least one mint but sometimes we need to consider whether some of those are barbarous rather than official. All together a 'complete set' could be defined as as few as 50 coins or you could attempt to get all the minor variations which would require over 2000 coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday I was driving past a coin store and something told me to stop. They even had a Crispina sestertius but no falling horsemen. I did not even ask the price since Antonine women have never been a great interest and I have way too many bids outstanding now as it is. My concern is how many other coin shops I drove by without stopping and which one of them had my Trier or even a Magnentius?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
