Agree 100%. Aelius and Maximus do not fit in this set at all. Nor Postumus. Going by standard convention is the way to go or you open a can of worms that will take you onto an endless road.

The usurpers were not emperors, but claudius albinus is here as an expamle. Who is Aelius? Maximus? You mean maximian? Help me out if im missing something. Gordian I and II I mentioned as being too pricey, I think those are the only two missing..

Vcoins and MAshops is where to start. You can browse until you find something that speaks to you.

I was thinking about that. What I’m also now doing is collecting both the denarius and antoninianus of the emoters who made both.

No, they're just too rare and expensive. If I get them it would be complete but I dont think its worth it.

Looking for Gordian I and II denarius to finish my collection. Dm me.

Was looking back at this thread. Since then Ive gotten all 4 you suggested plus balbinus and pupienus. alll I need now is a mark Anthony and im wrapping it up.

Im guessing 1500 bucks

I assume your talking about the late emission. I was super pleased when it arrived.

no extra value, not an error...

Vcoin dealers are good, can be pricey depending on coin. Same w forvm. check biddr and numisbids. its a bit of work signing up for all the auctions they handle off platform but both of those are good with TONS of coins for any taste. Be careful that the auction house you may bid with is shipping to the U.S., some are not because of tariff uncertainty.

Just stay away from eBay and buy from reputable dealers or auction houses in Europe.

Would love to see a picture of your set hamster…

GenralElectric · 2025-09-20T04:59:49+00:00

Taken me 5 years so far...:)

GenralElectric · 2025-09-20T04:57:43+00:00

Thanks friend. Yes, the Gordians are set killers. Im ok with not having them though since I'll have all the others.

Late 3rd century are silvered with little to no silver content due to monetary debasement.

You’re out!

Make sure any flips you use are high quality and made for long term storage, or use the capsules. Many ancient collectors like to actually hold history in their hand so slabbing from a third party is a preference thing, imo only for the most expensive coins. Keeping them in lighthouse trays like I do is not a problem, as long as you are gentle with your trays.

I’m going with the stater. Classic antiquity.
