<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 2267965, member: 44357&quot;]Also, to the point raised originally in this thread, I don&#039;t think there&#039;s anything wrong with collecting the Twelve Caesars or any of the other &quot;sets&quot; of ancient coins (like Hadrian&#039;s Travel Series, the Musa denarii, denomination sets, gods/goddesses, etc). Collectors tend to like finite, well defined sets (case in point: I have a friend who just completed his &quot;collectors set of hyper-cars&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancients offer a tremendous level of flexibility, not just the hole-filling of US coinage. Perhaps some of the negative comments here are due to more experienced collectors being worried that incoming collectors will pigeonhole themselves into thinking the Twelve Caesars are the only collectible coins, when there are a myriad of others from which to choose.</p><p><br /></p><p>That doesn&#039;t make The Twelve any less relevant or interesting. Depending on how you collect them, it can be an extremely challenging and impressive set to put together. Take a look at the first part of the Gasvoda collection (NAC 86) or IOM&#039;s sets in each metal to get a feel for just how much depth can come to a collection built from a relatively short but very important period of history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
