Burks Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Great looking coin. I have a thing for Roman/Greek coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hussulo Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Thanks, to be honest I don't know a lot about Roman coinage. I bought it becouse I liked the look of it and got it at a good price. I later found out upon reaserch that it was rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Not a bad piece! It is definately a scarcer type, and more interesting being from a German mint rather than one from the Baltics, or Greece/Turkey as is often seen these days. Keep in mind though that the rarity ratings at the time reflected those pieces found in major museum collections, with some "rare" items being common (coin not worth keeping), and some "common" items being rare (every mueseum wanted one).
