<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 2316094, member: 75936&quot;]LOL &quot;trigger warning&quot;... You only need a trigger warning around here if you&#039;re posting about how much you love slabbed coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think most people here have the collecting aesthetic which favours excellent artistic style over rare emperors. A lot of the rare emperor coins are artistically very poor - no doubt you&#039;ve seen a Regalianus or a Romulus Augustus. Or the famously ugly coins of Constantine XI (if you collect Byzantines).</p><p><br /></p><p>See, if i had $100,000 to spend and the choice between a Titus Colosseum sestertius and an ugly twisted and bent Olybrius, i&#039;d buy the Olybrius. I guess i have an obsession with completing a collection that can never really be completed (Saturninus, Silbannacus). Portrait series collectors like me are a frowned-upon minority - I&#039;m good with that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
