<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1719436, member: 19463&quot;]I have never understood the concept of wanting one coin per ruler.&nbsp; If I find a coin interesting, affordable and something that would make me feel better about my collection, I buy it.&nbsp; I do not feel pressure to buy a coin just because the face on it is someone I don&#039;t have.&nbsp; I would rather have $1000 worth of interesting and different coins of a ruler that I find interesting than a single $1000 coin of someone who history hardly mentions.&nbsp; It is a minority opinion, I realize.</p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla is a example of a ruler many people like to collect in multiples.&nbsp; You can get a nice &#039;age&#039; series from the cute kid through scowling monster.&nbsp; He even has posthumous &#039;Divus&#039; coins but they are rare.&nbsp; You can get a nice series of denominations including the one he invented (the antoninianus).&nbsp; You can get many different provincial series including several well worth collecting in multiples themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp; His coins include several interesting reverses.&nbsp; Certainly Caracalla is not the most important or extensive series in any of these areas but there is absolutely no reason to limit yourself to just one coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This software allows five coins per post.&nbsp; Here are five Caracalla coins I like but how could you limit yourself to just 5?&nbsp; Just 50?&nbsp; It is so easy to get carried away in this hobby.</p><p>[ATTACH]266185.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]266182.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]266183.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]266184.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]266186.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
