[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3928035, member: 98035"]Good collecting aim! I have been itching to do similar - would probably have to be Trajan or Hadrian since their quadrans and semisses are not exceptionally rare. Plus that way you could also do a really nice Cistophoric tet if you felt so inclined. Personally, I am winding down on my Roman Imperial set - only a few more wives and emperors left to collect, and all are $500+ purchases. I think I would like to set my goal on a significant milestone that is doable in a year's time: - Add Pescennius Niger - Upgrade my ratty Augustus bronze to a nice denarius or a relatively nice Cistophoric tet - Upgrade my ratty Claudius as to a nice Cistophoric tet - Maybe fill one or two more rare holes - I still have the white whales left like Matidia, Annia Faustina, Gordian I & II, Eugenius, Constantine III, etc. More importantly, I think my focus will be less on acquiring more than organizing and caring for what I already have. I havent made nearly as much progress as I had hoped on my various write-ups this year, and I hope to fix that for next year. Also, as with the past three years, I will continue my death march to "complete" the Indo Sassanian set, selecting only the coins which will add to the already massive collection.[/QUOTE]
