Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 11:11 am I would think so, but that is the collector's call. Personally, I think and portrait coin (denarius if that is what is being collected) would qualify. You mention Domitian, but you could say the same for Titus coins struck while Vespasian was Caesar.

I ask because I think I have unofficially started this set with my Vespasian (I say unofficially because I have not committed myself to the denarii of the Twelve Caesars yet), and I'd like to know this info if I actually decide to start this set.

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 11:25 am I would think one could collect the 12 Caesars in gold or bronze as well. Gold is out of my reach, but perhaps I could start on a bronze collection. These can get expensive as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Gold is out of my reach as well, so mine would be a bronze-silver set and I would have 1/4 of them already (Augustus, Claudius, and Vespasian). Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 12:09 pm Many of the bronzes would have to be minted in the provinces I believe. Ones like JC, Otho and Vitellius look like the only bronze portrait coins come out places such as Spain. Report this Post to the Staff
ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 12:49 pm If I were to take the approach of using both bronze and silver, I would also be 1/4 the way there. However, my plan (as of now) is to go with Denarii. I don't plan on doing it quickly...it may take me just as long or longer than it did for JW. I guess that I could also do a subset collection of bronze coins of the 12. It would be kinda cool to have a silver AND bronze set. When I win the lottery I will do the Aurii, too.
