I imagine what happens is that these coin circulated for a while and then were buried for centuries or millennia whether because they were dropped...
P.S. Here is the Heritage listing of my coin just in case anyone wants proof I bought it from Heritage. [ATTACH]
He has commented on my thread before when I couldn’t figure out why my Domitian denarius got a 2/5 surface grade and so hopefully he will comment...
Oh ok yeah I’ll wait to hear back from Heritage first. Who is David Vagi? Is that the owner of Heritage? Or the owner of ANACS?
Fortunately it wasn’t a super super expensive coin but I’m thinking about sending it to NGC to see what they say. If NGC sends it back in a “NOT...
Yup! I can’t find any exact matches to mine at that link but I do see the concerns he has regarding my coin and I have contacted HA’s Senior...

Ooh that’s a beauty! I almost gave up looking for a denarius of Otho and was going to buy a different denomination if I didn’t win this one. But...
Congrats on your Otho! :) In my experience getting ANY kind of coin of Otho is an achievement due to his short 3 month reign and small quantity...
In all honestly mine wasn’t much cheaper than that even as worn as it is. :/
Caligula & Claudius scare the heck out of me. xD If I don’t finish all 12 Caesar’s Denarii it will be because of one of them I guarantee it. O_o
