<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Howard Posner, post: 2072465, member: 73504&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I know that &#039;rarity&#039; is a less than compelling reason to pursue an ancient coin, or to value it, and that it is accepted&nbsp; wisdom that the RIC rarity values are not accurate (especially from the older volumes).&nbsp; I understand that this is clearly true for many coin types, especially from the Balkan mints. I would liie to know if the inaccuracy applies to the precious metal gold and silver coins as well as&nbsp; the billon and copper. RIC VI, for example, lists almost all argenteus as rare, and&nbsp; a lot of them at R3,4 or 5. RIC VI postdated the Sisak hoard and includes them in its numbers. Have there really been that many more reasonable condition argenteus found since then?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
