Very nicely done! I am particularly fond of that Claudius praetorian camp!

I am curious to know what the "price floor" would be for such a set; any coins in any conditions. I know that Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Caligula, Galba, Vitellius, and Otho are very tough in any issue, but I bet the rest could be done pretty cheap, especially if you allow provincials.

I researched the least expensive option for acquiring the 12 Caesar Set, all Denarius, except Caligula via the VCOINS site. Also, someone is selling via ebay for 15,000 a set they picked up for $2500 via CNG. Nice markup if you can get it. The set I came up with is around $4250, but I confess they are a mediocre set of coins. I presume a bronze or provincial set would cost far less.

Via Vcoins:
JC Cr 480/4
$780
Augustus
RIC 180
$170
Tiberius
RIC 30
$200
Caligula
RIC 56
$295
Claudius
RIC 83
$1550
Nero
RIC 68
$250
Galba
RIC 54
$430
Otho
RIC 10
$350
Vitellius
RIC 66
$250
Vespasian
RSC 94h
$90
Titus
RIC 948
$70
Domitian
RIC 691
$85

Nice work @Caesar77
The total I spent for my 12 in silver was 4517.00. I guess that means I have a bunch of mediocre coins. LOL

I paid $5 for my Claudius coin, which was totally crappy, here's the thread. So I guess that's the floor.
Didn't someone here get a Galba bronze in a lot recently?

(It's really about the Galba/Otho/Vitellius triple - Otho especially, because his only bronzes are provincial - and perhaps to a lesser extent Julius Caesar. Don't know much about Caligula though.
I'm not really planning such a ridiculous set anyway, don't have that kind of money; even if I had, I'd rather buy a tremissis instead, it's a lot cheaper.)

I've just done a very quick sweep of V coins and Ma shops and have come up with a bronze set ...in my eyes.. ..ok...remembering you can get better and worse coins for this price!! About 1600 euros and if you can spread that out over a year its not too bad ...!!

What do you think?

Based on these discussions, it seems like $2K-$3K for a bronze set, $5K-$25K for silver and $250K for gold. Interestingly, it works out to almost exactly an order of magnitude between each metal.

@orfew, clearly you have found some great deals and are on the lower end of the range for spending--well done!
