<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3148561, member: 76194&quot;]The &quot;one ruler per coin&quot; limit is only for 12 Caesars. I didn&#039;t want to take the easy way out by getting a Nero with Claudius denarius, or a Flavian triple-combo coin with all three Flavians on it. I suppose it would have made the hunt easier, but not as enjoyable.</p><p><br /></p><p>You know, I&#039;m also really proud of myself for getting a super budget Fine condition coin that only a year ago I would have overlooked as &quot;ugly&quot; or too &quot;plebeian&quot; for my tastes. Just goes to show how much my collecting habits have changed.</p><p><br /></p><p>2015: This coin is lower than an XF? Yuck!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>2016: Well, maybe VF is not so bad, but that&#039;s definitely the bottom for me.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>2017: Ok, maybe an aVF is acceptable. But no way will I ever get and enjoy some junky Fine coin.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie19" alt=":banhappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>2018: Well, maybe Fine coins are not so bad in certain occasions.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder what 2019 will bring? Maybe I&#039;ll be saying then &quot; I know this coin has a nail hole in it, but man, look at that sweet portrait of (blank) emperor on it. I&#039;ve definitely found it hilarious just how much I&#039;m looking at coins now that I would not have given a second glance to not that long ago. And in many cases its not even an issue of money or rarity, as I could probably get a &quot;nicer&quot; coin if I wanted. It&#039;s just that I&#039;ve learned to appreciate even the &quot;ugly ducklings.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
