<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2510999, member: 74968&quot;]Caligula and Claudius were the toughest coins in the set for me with the Caligula being the most expensive. </p><p><br /></p><p>Putting together the set is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the process. It meant hours of looking at different coins, bidding in many auctions, and pouncing on a coin when found.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many ways to put this set together. You can choose all silver which is tough but not impossible. You can also substitute bronze for the tougher coins while begin on the lookout for their silver counterparts. For example an As of Caligula or Claudius, and maybe a provincial for Otho</p><p><br /></p><p>For myself, I highly doubt I will ever be finished with the set (where is the fun in that). Instead, I have been slowly upgrading the coins one at a time, trying to get the most interesting set I can get. You might want to choose the most popular coins such as a Iudea Capta for the Vespasian, Minerva for Domitian, an elephant denarius for Julius Caesar or a tribute penny for the Tiberius. For me, I tried to find coins with scarcer and in my mind more interesting reverses and I definitely wanted a portrait coin of Julius Ceasar.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no right way to do this. Find your own path and by all means have fun. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]534041[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
