<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 7913738, member: 72790"]Thanks for those responses. I must admit that that Nero Dupondius is one of my favorite and also oldest coins. My students loved it. Easy to see, to distinguish lettering. I have another exact same coin, actually with less wear than this one, but it is a dark green and my students could not or would not look closely at it the way they did this one. It has such a large flan I thought it might actually have been a sestertius when I purchased it at a show many decades ago, until I got it home and weighed it. As for putting together other type sets, Al is spot on with this. It offers the eclectic collector a chance to put some coherence into one's collection by grouping them to some set and he is also right about doing it on a modest budget. I am going to have to take a closer look at my provincials to see if I can make a set with rhyme and reason to them. Thanks again for the kind responses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
