[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3537189, member: 76194"]Yeah, I had an addiction to Gordian III roaches. At some point I had over 22 of them before I decided to cut back and only keep my best 5. It's just so hard not to collect them when there's so many reverse themes, in such great conditions, at such low prices. But at this point I've decided I needed more variety in my collection, so with my roach fire sale I ended up funding a few Greek coins. But for a beginner like you Gordian III should be one of the first emperors you get in silver. Won't find anyone any cheaper. The next up in price is Philip I. A lot of his silver coinage range from $50 to $65 and it's still decent quality silver (well struck and none of the nasty devalued silver plated coinage that would come a decade later.) Here's an example of a Philip I that I got for $50 three years ago: [ATTACH=full]940117[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
