<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4037249, member: 19463&quot;]The question that remains unanswered is if the buyer was influenced by XVI in a mistaken belief that it showed the value as did some earlier denarii.&nbsp; We will not know.&nbsp; Just because we have evidence of fewer than 42 denarius dies known to students does not mean they never existed or that all that existed managed to survive to be studied.&nbsp; I can not speak for others and especially not those who collect mainly for condition but I have selected a coin from a die numbered series because I liked the number.&nbsp; How much more would I pay for a number I like?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know but I do recall selecting this coin because it had the old style downward arrow L on the obverse and the double subtractive XCIV 94 on the reverse.&nbsp; I would have preferred a coin with all the number oddities on one side and completely on flan.&nbsp; I takes all kinds to make a hobby.&nbsp; I am strange in my way but I doubt I am the only one who finds some numbers more interesting than others.&nbsp; Did this series number die 79 LXXIX or LXXVIIII?&nbsp; If 78 were LXXIIX, I would pay a bit extra. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1060018[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
