<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2671082, member: 83956&quot;]I have really enjoyed looking at everyone&#039;s ideas for short set collecting and the sets they have completed and are working on. Thank you for posting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am particularly intrigued by collecting opportunities for Severan empresses, Gallic empire, and even Doug&#039;s decade collection suggestion.&nbsp; The latter seems to be a budget friendly alternative to the &quot;one coin per ruler&quot; approach, which seems the Mount Everest of Roman collecting, financially and otherwise.&nbsp; I suppose a decade collection would yield, for the Imperial period alone, some 47 coins or so. That&#039;s way above my dozen coon suggestion for a short set. But those of us who have been collecting for a while are probably halfway there at least.&nbsp; It seems a systematic way of showing the evolution (or devolution?) of Roman coin styles.&nbsp; I suppose if 47 coins were too daunting, one could proceed by quarter century increments. That would take 47 coins down to 18--much more manageable. Then one could fill in the missing decades from that point. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well. This is what I do when I don&#039;t have the money on hand to collect. I dream about *how* to collect. But these kinds of approaches help me make my &quot;snacking&quot; somewhat purposeful, which matters to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
