[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7759401, member: 115909"]Thanks! I just picked it up a few weeks ago. I’ve been on a bit of an Ancient Roman coins buying spree lately. xD My goal is to accumulate as many ancient Roman silver coins as I can from the beginning of their coinage all the way to the collapse of the Empire. I’m especially trying to get a denarius from as many different Emperors as possible in at least XF condition or better. Although I know I’ll never get some of the Emperors like Caligula whose denarius coins cost up to $20,000 in XF condition and sometimes even in VF condition. But I am determined to get as many as I can since I think it will look cool to have a huge display acting as a sort of timeline with my earliest coins (from the Republic like my quadrigatus) at the beginning and then the latest coins (like the highly debased denarii from the end of the 3rd century) at the end. Kind of like this but with denarii instead of antoninianii and with many more examples. [ATTACH=full]1330022[/ATTACH] I think it will be interesting to see the changes in size, weight, design and purity over many centuries.[/QUOTE]
