    Hey no problem :) The coins in the OP are not too expensive at 20-40 EUR so it doesn’t HAVE to be an expensive hobby at all.

    I like this emperor because his coins are in good shape, affordable, and there are many cool reverses. Same goes for other emperors from around this time, the 3rd century.

      that is also good to know, i would have guessed they would be more expensive from my base of zero knowledge outside of the tv show detectorists, haha.

      Why are his coins in good shape relative to other emperors?

      were there simply more coins found or preserved? also, did each emperor delegate responsibility for the minting QA so that there are varying qualities between emperors?
