[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8463804, member: 24754"]My collection is composed of Late Republic and Roman Imperial coins ranging from Julius Caesar through Theodosius I (Emperors, family members, Caesars, usurpers, etc). My goal is to get one bust coin of each character of interest, but I would also like to have a complete denomination type set within my collection. I've pretty much pulled it off by just picking up various coins along the way. The ones that I haven't picked up yet are, you guessed it, an Aureus and a Solidus. I've put in a lot of effort over the years cataloging sales of different denominations for different bust coins to familiarizing myself with expected sales prices. However, I have not tracked information about the gold coins at all. Before delving into the data, I wanted to see if you guys could provide some information to get me started in the right direction. I'm not terribly concerned with the person on the coin, but I would like to get the best example of each that I can reasonably afford. So, given these criteria, who would you guys recommend? Basically: Whose Aurei tend to be available in decent shape at the lower end of the price spectrum compared to others? Same question for Solidi?[/QUOTE]
