<p>[QUOTE="mrbreeze, post: 20323782, member: 86726"]The only way to know what the potential cost is would be to know your minimum standards. I know you said VF but there is still a great deal of variability in “VF.” Centered coins with good portraits, no issues and all of the legends visible would be significantly more than 10 grand. I’m doing a set that includes 160 different people. I don’t have a Caligula or either of the Gordians. One, Caligula coins aren’t always that great and the decent ones are super expensive. Gordian I and II actually come decent almost always but command a significant premium that seems to go up at each auction. Gordian I and II and Caligula will be 10 grand for anything that is decent. But, you can take solace in the fact that you are only doing denarii. If you get to the last few emperors, you’ll pay several hundred dollars for a small bronze, with a visible monogram being the only reason for purchase. LOL.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
