[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2522969, member: 10461"]This was the last collection I completed before I moved on to a "Box of 20". Even the slabophobes usually admit that it looked great this way. [IMG]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/12%20Caesars%20Roman%20Coin%20Collection/TC00-Box-005000-pic1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/12%20Caesars%20Roman%20Coin%20Collection/TC00-Box-005000-pic2.jpg[/IMG] And no, I did not buy the set ready-made from some slick marketing company for a small fortune. I had the joy and challenge of building it myself. Bought the coins, had them slabbed, bought the box, had the little nameplate made for two or three bucks, etc. [URL='https://forums.collectors.com/messageview.aspx?catid=6&threadid=842182']Here are the coins[/URL]. Most were relatively modest in grade, but I am a low ranking hotel clerk, not a CEO. Not too many people on my salary complete a Twelve Caesars collection, and fewer still can say they did it for less than $500/coin. (Of biblical or Holy Land interest, I had a Tiberius "Tribute Penny" and a Vespasian "Judaea Capta" in there.)[/QUOTE]
