<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7776654, member: 19463&quot;]You are perfectly free to deny the term &#039;emperor&#039; to anyone you wish but there are no sestertii or other AE from Rome for Pescennius Niger.&nbsp; It is also a question for opinion whether you consider the last AE of Aurelian to be sestertii wvwn though they are smaller than an as of a decade earlier. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most &#039;collectors&#039; like to&nbsp; build their collection rather than having it presented in a neat package. Most people who want a set already have 5% to 95% of them already.&nbsp; Those only having 5% rarely have the ready cash to buy the whole set while those with 95% don&#039;t want to deal with all those sub-standard duplicates.&nbsp; In the distant past I saw a few sales of &#039;sets&#039; like the 12 Caesars offered individually and then again as a single lot.&nbsp; If the set brought a higher bid than the total of the individuals, those first sales were set aside. If you wanted one coin bad enough and had lost it you could always hope the first winner did not have the money to buy them all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
