<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3370946, member: 44316&quot;]Some collectors like a particular type and collect its variants. We have some on this forum who like FEL TEMP REPARATIO coins from various mints:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/another-mint-set-almost-done-fel-temps.304228/#post-2876532" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/another-mint-set-almost-done-fel-temps.304228/#post-2876532">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/another-mint-set-almost-done-fel-temps.304228/#post-2876532</a></p><p><br /></p><p>One of our members admitted to completing a set of 13 &quot;hut&quot; mints:&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/fel-temp-reparatio-hut-type.259251/page-2" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/fel-temp-reparatio-hut-type.259251/page-2">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/fel-temp-reparatio-hut-type.259251/page-2</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and another showed 16 &quot;soldier-spearing-fallen-horseman&quot; coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/top-fel-temp-reparatio-coins.306797/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/top-fel-temp-reparatio-coins.306797/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/top-fel-temp-reparatio-coins.306797/</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>I admit I have a bit of an interest in another common type:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]894150[/ATTACH] </p><p>Diocletian, 284-305, struck at Trier</p><p>27-26 mm. 9.23 grams.</p><p>IMP DIOCLETIANVS AVG</p><p>S in left field, F in right field.

After a while one can begin to see stylistic differences between the different mints and it seems interesting to get another one from a different mint. And then another. And then ... .
