[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3095704, member: 76194"]I love coinage from all periods of Roman history, but in my opinion Gordie III is an emperor that more people should consider collecting in imperial silver issues for the following reasons: 1. His imperial silver is mostly plentiful and affordable, which makes a serious collection possible at almost any budget level. 2. His imperial silver features almost every reverse theme struck by Roman emperors from the end of the 2nd century through the end of the 3rd century...so you can literally study almost any theme and deity you want for that 100 year period by only collecting Gordies. 3. His imperial silver was struck with a high level of quality control, and most of his coins are preserved in VF and higher condition. I think those are three pretty good reasons, but most people look at Gordian III and say "His coins are common and cheap, and that's boring and I'm not interested"...and they overlook all the great reasons why he should be collected.[/QUOTE]
