<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 3093429, member: 87080&quot;][USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] there was a hoard of Richard denier that consisted of about 3000 coins that was found in 2000.&nbsp; It is known as the Civrac hoard and was purchased as a whole by CNG back in 2005.&nbsp; I have a suspicion that they have been slowly releasing the coins for years.&nbsp; Andy Singer, a MD dealer in medieval coins, was also telling me about a hoard that was found in Bordeaux recently that has been slowly parceled out for the last couple years.&nbsp; I agree, the market seems to be really saturated right now.&nbsp; Even FORVM had some for sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very nice Etruscan coin [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER]&nbsp; You weren&#039;t kidding, that is an incredible provenance.&nbsp; I would love to collect Etruscan coins, but right now only have one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER]&nbsp; To think that two CT members have the only known examples, what are the odds?&nbsp; What makes me curious is why the coin is so rare.&nbsp; My denier is the result of a blundered die and it makes sense that not many would be minted using it.&nbsp; Your Vespasian, on the other hand, is a lovely coin.&nbsp; So why is it so scarce?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
