    I wouldn’t necessarily say that denarii are more “collectible” than antoniniani.

    Denarii tend to have more silver content though, so intrinsically are more valuable.

    some ants are less collectible than a denarius if the same emperor (such as Aurelian)

    some ants are more collectible, such as Caracalla

    I’d probably put that in the World Coins sub, it’s too recent for ancients

    ...Celebrate, but (the less euphemistic, non-beer-ad version: ) Don't hurt yourself.

    Thank you, @hotwheelsearl, for your implicit endorsement of medievals....

    ...It was less your dad than your (or somebody's) drunk uncle, the one on the sidewalk with the paper sack, who says, "Boy, Go Back to School!" (James McBride, paraphrased).

    Nice start! Love the Roman ladies. I have two Julias on the way back from NGC right now, as it happens: denarii of Julia Domna and Julia Mamaea.
