<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3099964, member: 19463"]I am 100% with Clavdivs on this one. If the only reason you want the other nine is that you want everyone, I'd say put them off until you have all the ones that really do appeal to you. When it really sinks in that you will never have a coin of 'every emperor and usurper', perhaps you will get over having the 99% set you can have and decide you would rather have some other coins. Most people develop an interest in something special long before they get anywhere close to a set of emperors and will end up selling their unwanted expensive coins to finance a coin that really fits their interests. Who knows, it may turn out that you decide you only want Republicans or Greek and no longer even want the three you have. I am a general collector and it happens that I do have all twelve of the twelve but in all honesty I can not tell you which of the twelve was the last I got. To my style collecting, that is not important. The fact that I have two coins of one emperor and none of another means nothing to me. The fact that I have a lot of coins that <i>do</i> mean something to me is the name of the game as I play it. Buy coins you like; not coins you have heard you should want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
