<p>[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 3537007, member: 80783"]Before you seriously get into Antoniniani or LBRs, you should give yourself a treat and buy one evenly worn Sestertius of Trajan or Hadrian for around 50 USD (I prefer those with a yellowish tone as they are closest to their ancient appearence). Once you feel that big (33-35 mm) and heavy (ca.25 gr) coin in your hand and enjoy the eye appeal of the classic portraiture and detailled reverse designs, you might not want to collect any other denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
