<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 8198154, member: 75936&quot;]I&#039;m late to this party.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a one-per-ruler Roman collection.

Generally, I like a little bit of wear - it reassures me the coin has circulated and probably isn&#039;t a toolie.

I&#039;m not really in the league of [USER=44357]@AncientJoe[/USER] where I can call an EID MAR denarius common. Common coins, to me, are the AE3/4s of Constantine and his family, and I don&#039;t have a lot of interest in these. That said, I would LOVE to own a spectacular example of one of these &quot;not rare&quot; high-demand classics:</p><p>- Athens Owl tetradrachm</p><p>- Julius Caesar portrait</p><p>- Marc Antony / Cleopatra denarius or drachm</p><p>- Cleopatra 80 drachma</p><p>- Augusta/Agrippa crocodile Nemausus as[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
