Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4312 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 10:55 am I wanted to show off the progress on the Roman Emperor set I've been building for a little while now. It's all in a nice riker box display I made, looks great imo. On a really tight budget at the moment, so I don't mind poor condition as long as it's identifiable. Though there are many I would definitely like to upgrade at some point. My cut-off is around 420 AD, right before the coins start getting really tough to find and the bronzes get really ugly. Why is X, Y, or Z missing? I didn't want to include any usurpers, debated, or unrecognized emperors in this set. If I happen to get an example of Maxentius, Saloninus, Albinus, or others I may shift some around to fit them in or, more likely, I'll create a second display for the usurpers and uncertain guys. Also, I do have a Constantius Chlorus on the way. Next one I'm looking for is Maximinus Thrax. Co-editor of http://www.doubleddie.com/ Report this Post to the Staff

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 8:41 pm "Stick with your plan - upgrade when you can" The way I display my coins is constantly changing. You will no doubt find a an unexpected find that will make you shift everything around -again and again I like the way you have yours labeled, I 'm thinking about making information cards for each coin. Two of my current displays - both of which I picked up for free at my local coin shop: Edited by travelcoin 11/22/2022 8:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4312 Posts	Posted 11/01/2023 12:15 am Nearly a year later, wanted to give an update on the current state of the set: Upgrades: Augustus - Colonia Patricia AE RPC 130, lifetime issue, very worn but with a nicely contrasted portrait. Nero - Victory As Lugdunum Mint RIC 543, better than the previous but that's not saying much. Commodus - Libertas Denarius RIC 135, AE to AR upgrade. Elagabalus - Uncertain Moesian AE, Nothing left on the reverse but portrait is solid. Aemilian - Viminacium AE RPC 89, Actually cherrypicked at the World's Fair of Money this year. It was in a 9 coin unattributed lot that ended up being about $10 per coin. Gallienus - Sol Antoninianus Mediolanum Mint RIC 495, I like the Mediolanum portraits and this is a nice example. Claudius I - Uberitas Antoninianus Siscia Mint RIC 193, better all around. Probus - Victory Antoninianus RIC 215, portrait is clearer albeit smaller. Numerian - Numerian as Caesar Antoninianus RIC 263, makes nearly the whole row Antoniniani which I like the idea of. Additions: Caligula - Thessalonica AE w/ Antonia Minor RPC 1573, Caligula side is worn and off center but the Antonia side is pretty nice. Otho - Securitas Denarius RIC 8, was in a NGC slab but no longer. Maximinus I - Pax Denarius RIC 12, Christmas 2022 gift to myself. Saloninus - Spes Antoninianus Asian Mint RIC 36, wasn't going to add him to this set but found a coin for a good price so might as well. Definitely need to upgrade though, this is probably the worst coin here. Constantius I - Constantius + Jupiter AE Cyzicus Mint RIC 19a. Maxentius - Castor + Pollux AE Ostia Mint RIC 35, again wasn't going to include this guy but found a decent one. Also, I am holding a show-and-tell contest at the moment with a two Roman coins as potential prizes if you haven't seen it yet: http://goccf.com/t/454952 Co-editor of http://www.doubleddie.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
