[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 8464356, member: 98035"]Are you wanting a complete denomination type set for a single emperor, or just scattered across the different emperors? Denomination sets can be tricky because almost every emperor through Gordian III issued denarii, and most issued sestertii, but asses and dupondii were issued infrequently after Commodus, and semisses and quadrantes even more so. A handful of emperors also issued silver quinarii - those are even more rare (except I think Augustus issued one that is more affordable?) Nero, Trajan or Hadrian would be your best bet for completing a denomination set, since they all issued relatively plentiful coins of all denominations (except quinarii), although an aureus will run a little more since they are more popular emperors.[/QUOTE]
