<p>[QUOTE="Codera, post: 26207596, member: 70631"]I started collecting coins from each of the Twelve Caesars for the past year now and I'm kind of astonished to make it to this point now. It was surprisingly not the hardest thing ever and I was able to keep the whole set altogether under $2,000 by going for a mix of silver and base metal coins, both imperial and provincial, I believe they're all equal. 6 silvers, 6 base metals, 6 imperials, 6 provincials. The first and most expensive of the coins I bought in this series was the denarius of Augustus, the cheapest was surprisingly the Antioch bronze of Otho since it was part of a lot with 17 other bronze coins and the last coin I added was the denarius of Vespasian with an appropriate victory reverse on the back (I like to think me completing this set is being commemorated too). Anyway, this is pretty exciting for me! My next goal is saving for an Athenian owl tetradrachm. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1673552[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
