<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2673616, member: 19463&quot;]Considering that you are willing to spend the money for gold, you might be happier with sestertii than the silvers.&nbsp; Some sestertii have exceptionally high quality die work.&nbsp; Unworn and fine surfaced ones are extremely popular among the high end crowd.&nbsp; Add to that the fact that some of the big flans took advantage of the opportunity for really nice designs. They are only high priced in high grades but EF examples of the &#039;better&#039; rulers will require the same numbers of roof clearing jobs as an aureus.&nbsp; I would suggest you chase a Galba or Vitellius because that date was a peak for large size coins and good workmanship.&nbsp; You might even want a double sestertius of Trajan Decius or his wife.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry Eduard, some of us would like to see P-man stay away from silver and discover the wonders of the big, big bronzes.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
