[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8252998, member: 134416"]Surprisingly I've never had a Claudius II until a present of a few years ago. Ditto, Quintillus. Coins of 268-70 never really appealed to me, and the Sestertii are unobtanium. I am still kicking myself for not buying a solid (billon) silver Antoninianus of Claudius II. Ancientcoinsca offered one or two about 15 years ago. To the best of my recollection, I'm missing: Lucius Verus, Quietus, Florian, Carus, Magnentius, Procopius and Valentinian II. I'm not sure about Allectus. I may have one. There may be a Lucius Verus in the bag of 100 or so VG Asses/Dupondii from the 1st-2nd century which I purchased in the 90s, but since I hid the bag too well when I was moving into the house, I don't know. It's certainly an enduring mystery. There may be a provincial in the provincial bag. I just never really got around to the missing ones; they're generally of secondary interest to me and opportunity cost would come up. EDIT: "Common" is a subjective term, so my baseline is whether one can pick up an example of said emperor for $200 or less. Marius is on the edge of this criteria. I'm also missing Marius.[/QUOTE]
