[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 21044033, member: 24754"]My approach was similar to [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] 's, I just tried to get one of each. Most ended up being denarii, but there are a few Asses thrown in there as well (There are definitely some asses in the group, but talking about the coin denominations ;)). I'd provide a picture, but I'm still missing Augustus :( A lot of people probably like to go for all denarii, solidi, or whatever because consistency would bring the set together from an aesthetics perspective. But, I'm pretty sure that there's never been a significant portion of the community that thought something like, "It's not a 12 Caesars set unless they are all X"! Unless you have deep pockets, Caligula in particular is a bit of a roadblock to doing all denarii, and Julius Caesar, Otho, and Claudius are also no walk in the park.
