[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7445491, member: 80952"]I always check the rarities of my coins but I know this is relative. I am not bothered if they are considered common, as long as I like them. Here is a random coin marked as C in RIC but I like it a lot: [ATTACH=full]1291471[/ATTACH] Nerva AD 96-98. Rome Denarius AR 19 mm., 2,78 g. RIC II Nerva 24 (denarius), RSC 48 Date: AD 97 Obverse Legend: IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR POT Type: Head of Nerva, laureate, right Reverse Legend: COS III PATER PATRIAE Type: Simpulum, sprinkler, ewer and lituus (simpulum, aspegillum, jug, lituus) My only Nerva denarius and also my only coin with pontifical symbols. This is my only Domitian denarius (fortunately the coin doesn't look that rugged in hand) [ATTACH=full]1291476[/ATTACH] This is from 87, also rated C but I was told by Flavian specialists that coins from 87 are not [I]that[/I] common.[/QUOTE]
