[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3014884, member: 10461"]If anyone else mentioned this, I overlooked it: with a username like [USER=93702]@Clavdivs[/USER], it seems rather mandatory that you add a coin of that emperor, yes? A denarius would be a bit more challenging, but his bronzes are affordable, and a bronze [I]as[/I] can be had for a reasonable price. Here is the example I had when I was a novice Roman collector in 2007-08. [ATTACH=full]748410[/ATTACH] And the one I subsequently had in my 2011-13 Twelve Caesars collection. [ATTACH=full]748411[/ATTACH] Both were $100-ish coins, as I recall, so middling examples, perhaps. But I've seen Claudius Æs for as little as $7-10 In junkbox condition, and some acceptable to decent ones under a hundred bucks. And since we're talking Trajan, here is my first denarius from him. (Image was done on a flatbed scanner, so not ideal). [ATTACH=full]748412[/ATTACH] Good luck in whatever you pursue. You're off to a nice start.[/QUOTE]
