<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2670612, member: 83956&quot;]With Randy’s recent post about completing a Constans mint set for Siscia, I thought I would start a thread that I’ve been thinking about for a while. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am a goal-oriented guy.&nbsp; But I also like to set manageable goals.&nbsp; I would like to hear members of this group suggest their favorite short, affordable coin sets or &quot;subsets.&quot; Here are the only two guidelines:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1. The set has to be manageable. Let’s use the “Twelve Caesars” as a guide and try to keep the set around a dozen coins or so, give or take. </b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>2. The set has to be affordable.&nbsp; Of course, what is “affordable” might range widely among collectors. Let’s say that most of the coins in the set could be had for $100 or less, at least in lower grades.&nbsp; </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, these are just guidelines. If you can conceive of a short set that has one somewhat pricey coin, go ahead and suggest it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, the Twelve Caesars come to mind, though a couple of those coins are going to be hard to find for $100 even in low grades. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, I’m still trying to complete a set of “barbarian and hut” reverse type coins for Constans for the 13 mints that struck them.&nbsp; I’m still looking out for Arles.</p><p><br /></p><p>So. What is your favorite relatively affordable short set?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
