[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 20605902, member: 44316"]You have gotten many good replies. Every one of those emperors is quite available, if you are willing to pay the price which can be high. I recommend you pay attention to the many auction consolidators: [URL]http://augustuscoins.com/ed/dealers.html[/URL] and use their search engines. If you start with the easier, less expensive, ones and find coins in conditions that please you, you may find that you are confronted with the problem every collector runs up against, either buying the rarer ones in pleasing condition for more than you wanted to pay, or buying the rarer ones for the price you wanted to pay and not liking the condition as much. For that goal I think you are likely to go over 10k, but you don't need to decide that now.
