<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 24704517, member: 83845&quot;]There is a giant Tiberius shaped hole in my collection and I have been considering what coin type I want to target to fill it. I enjoy coins that tell a story and the “tribute penny” is certainly a coin that comes with a popular story.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m fully aware that the association of the Tiberius / pax denarius with the story of Jesus in the Bible is tenuous at best. I know some consider the “tribute penny” name to be nothing more than marketing and many experienced collectors go out of there way to target a different type for their 12 Caesars collections. However, I’m struggling to think of a coin for Tiberius that tells a better story. The most common other type I see for Tiberius is the quadriga reverse. I’m not sure if there is any historic or numismatic significance with that type?</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore I ask the board. What are your thoughts on the Tribute Penny? Is there another type for Tiberius that you find more interesting and why?</p><p><br /></p><p>… of course, please show your Tribute Pennies, other Tiberius coins and anything else you think is relevant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
