<p>[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3583731, member: 88829"]I can relate, and you really got a nice one. Back in the late 90s a dealer by the name of Ed Waddell ran an auction in which he offered an immaculate run of these, one from each mint that struck them. That made quite an impression on me since I knew I did not have the deep pockets that were needed at the time to try to do that. Still, I thought I would give it a try (off and on) until I had assembled a set by about 2005 that was only missing one mint. I kind of lost interest in the project after that, but have kept all the coins. I have a few added varieties from certain mints, but here is a run of one for each mint, except for one mint. Guess which mint is missing. From west to east they are:</p><p>Lugdunum (Lyons) RIC viii 236 </p><p>[ATTACH=full]956455[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Arelate (Arles) RIC viii 318</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956456[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Siscia (RIC viii 418)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956457[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Sirmium (RIC viii 107)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956458[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Thessalonika (RIC viii 225)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956459[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Heraclea (RIC viii 104)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956460[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Constantinople (RIC viii 163)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956461[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Nicomedia (RIC viii 121)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956462[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Cyzicus (RIC viii 126)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956463[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Antioch (RIC viii 216)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956464[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe not the worlds greatest, but it was a kick.
