Twelve Caesars Set Version 1.0

Up until last month, my Twelve Caesars set had been stuck at Six Caesars for yonks. Frankly, it wasn't a set I was in a hurry to complete, mainly because I was hunting very specific coins for certain Caesars rather than random ones for the sake of completing the set. Then, a single group lot purchase sent a flurry of very random Caesars into my collection, and eh... Twelve Caesars set, done .

So maybe this wasn't quite the epic finish to my Twelve Caesars quest, but now that I've photographed (or rephotographed) them and put them in a virtual tray, I'm plenty pleased by how they look together. It's a mixed bag of denominations and grades, but I think it has a motley charm to it . Nevertheless, I'm calling this set Version 1.0 because I'm still on the hunt for some of those specific coins that I had originally intended to include in the set.

Please feel free to share your Twelve Caesars sets!

Nothing motley about it. It's a wonderful collection!

 

Outstanding! The mix is interesting, the coins lovely in their variety, and the virtual tray pleasingly presented.

Congratulations on your serendipitous finish .

 

Thanks, JA and TIF! Perhaps it's time for me to upgrade their crib ...

 

I'm not even into ancients and I think that set looks great. nice job!

 

Thanks, rooman. It's always nice to receive a compliment from a non-ancients collector. Maybe one day you'll give the Dark Side a try .

 

It's a great set and several coins I would gladly take.

Here is mine, minus Tiberius since just parted with it for a different Tiberius, which will be shared at a later time.

 

Every time I see the name Tiberius I think of Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise.. T stands for Tiberius.. sorry to get off the subject a little.

But hey nice collection you have there!

 

haha maybe maybe. I have a handful of ancients, nothing fancy. I do like them I just can only collect so much! (and so little time).

 

Great set, Z-Bro (and Mat) ... wow, that must be a good feeling to complete a coin-project, eh?

Sadly, I still need three biggees (not surprisingly => JC, Otho and Vitellius)

 

Nice sets. I'm contemplating starting a collection of ancients. With me being so novice what's the difficulty level in completing the 12 Caesars?

 

Great set congratulations

 

Cost, several number of them are a few hundred each, especially Otho and if you want it all silver or you can live with some bronze issues, which is easier to afford.

 

wonderful! i like a good mix of coins and the tray looks great Z.

you at least need to cross out the 6 and put a 12 on that sticker!

 

Love it Z.

 

Great collection. I just started mine in April so I still need 7 of them. Congrats on a great accomplishment.

 

Fantastic set Bing.

 

Great set Zumbly, wonderful variety! Here's mine, one stands out like a sore thumb.

 

Gorgeous sets guys!

 

Hey Zumbly, you should get made into a poster!
