[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 1973105, member: 44357"]I've had four Domitian aurei, each near EF or better, some of extremely rare varieties, and while they were nice coins, they didn't excite me as much as this one. I suppose that's what makes all collections different. At some point, I may work on a Twelve Caesars set in gold/silver but I'm really not as won over by the concept of a Twelve Caesars collection and instead just buy coins which "speak" to me, hence my current "eclectic/haphazard" incomplete Twelve Caesars collection. If merely looking for completion, one could get a reasonably nice set together in a few months at a couple of auctions with sufficient funds, but they wouldn't be as special as if they were each specifically hunted and pre-selected, seeking out appealing types and styles.
