<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2988491, member: 76194&quot;]Here is a not so perfect Vitellius, although the portrait is nice. The reverse is worse for wear, but I have a feeling that despite that it won&#039;t be a hard coin to sell at the budget price I paid for it when I upgrade it in the future (if I even bother to upgrade it as the 12 Caesars era really isn&#039;t my area of focus).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]736717[/ATTACH] </p><p>RS86185.

I think I&#039;ll tackle Nero in March, and see if I can find a sweet deal on a nice budget Caligula by mid-2018, and will try for Galba by the end of 2018. If I do nothing else, that will be my goal, finishing the 12 Caesars by the end of 2018 so I can move back to my main focus: Completing my Gallic Empire and Britanic Empire emperors set, and acquiring more Gordian III and other 3rd Century &quot;Crisis&quot; emperors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
