<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 4996726, member: 101013&quot;]All of your coins are splendid [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER], congratulations on such a fine subcollection. The Commodus denarius really stands out. Amazing specimen of the type! </p><p>Your chosing of the coins is well considered. One can imagine that if you&#039;d like to further your subcollection however, you could look for a Nerva with clasped hands reverse type, which symbolizes the the good terms between the senate and army, accomplished via de adoption of Trajan. Also, Antoninius Pius has some very interesting reverse types. An obvious one is the types with the young Marcus Aurelius on the reverse. It&#039;s of course also a matter of how much one can and is willing to spend. The more popular the type, the higher the price obviously. </p><p><br /></p><p>Below you can find my subcollection of the adoptive emperors. I, too, lack a Nerva denarius refering to the adoption of Trajan, and for now settled with a lovely portrait obverse with the Libertas reverse (refering to Nerva&#039;s intention to restore civil liberties curtailed by the reign of Domitian). About my Commodus, I fell in love with the portrait of this one. I do have the same type as yours, but in much lesser grade. I&#039;d love to upgrade it one day, but these types are scarce and tend to generate a very high premium... Well, maybe one day ... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1199790[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
