As a huge Roman collector, I have a goal one day to own all the Emperors in Silver and Gold. I have a lot of VF pieces, but the obverse on this Thrax is worth the show. What do you all think?

Very nice.

I have noticed that certain emperors of this time period - notably Maximinus and Gordian III - seem to be surprisingly easy to obtain in almost-mint-fresh condition. As if a large proportion of the mintage of these coins went straight from the Mint into a hole in the ground. My own example of a Maximinus denarius is the highest-grade Roman coin I own.

As you know, it will be a pretty spendy undertaking, but I'm hoping that you post your progress here!
