<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2571466, member: 19463&quot;]Fortunately we have a book for that.&nbsp; The great Reka Devnia Hoard of 1930 consisting of 81000+ silver coins included a bit over 7000 coins of Septimius Severus.&nbsp; The book on the hoard was arranged by Cohen numbers with the OP coin which was dated IMP VIIII being C.212.&nbsp; There&nbsp; were 88 coins in the hoard.&nbsp; The same reverse but dated IMP VIII is C.210 but the hoard included only three coins.&nbsp; There are a couple types with over 200 count and maybe a dozen more over 100.&nbsp; There are many types with only one example and I have several types that were not in the hoard at all.&nbsp; We could do a thread on &#039;Show your RD 0 coins&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where we draw the line between &#039;common&#039; and &#039;scarce&#039; is a matter of opinion but an 88 rater is never going to be &#039;rare&#039;.&nbsp;&nbsp; The report, N.A. Mouchmov, <b>Le Tresor Numismatique de Reka Devnia (Marcianopolis)</b> is a lot of fun. The originals were printed on high acid paper that tends to rot away making the books worth more than most coins in it.&nbsp; It was reprinted a few years back and I doubt many of us who got one then will be selling it on this side of the grave.&nbsp; If you find one, I suggest you buy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
