<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4553159, member: 19463&quot;]Yes, they exist.&nbsp; I suspect you are seeing the result of dealers advertising all the Otho coins they get because there is a market for even the bad ones while more common rulers won&#039;t show up in high to mid-lever sales,&nbsp; There are denarii of the common rulers worth $10 but dealers don&#039;t stock them because more people want the $20 to $200 ones.&nbsp; Poor Othos will sell to people who want a space filler so you see them offered more than similar Trajans etc. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;ITEM_DESC=otho&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&amp;TABS_TYPE=3&amp;CONTAINER_NAME=triton&amp;CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=3&amp;VIEW_TYPE=0&amp;MAX_COUNT=10000&amp;PAGE=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;ITEM_DESC=otho&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&amp;TABS_TYPE=3&amp;CONTAINER_NAME=triton&amp;CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=3&amp;VIEW_TYPE=0&amp;MAX_COUNT=10000&amp;PAGE=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;ITEM_DESC=otho&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&amp;TABS_TYPE=3&amp;CONTAINER_NAME=triton&amp;CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=3&amp;VIEW_TYPE=0&amp;MAX_COUNT=10000&amp;PAGE=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Scroll through the above lots.&nbsp; Watch for one coin at $11000.&nbsp; Find several at $5000.&nbsp; Not all are perfect but decent.&nbsp; Are these the best coins?&nbsp; Probably many of the finest are sold privately to collectors who do not ask the price.&nbsp; This one was marked as sold by Ed Waddell who tends to have nice coins for what I would say was a reasonable price.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure you will find better ones if you do the research.</p><p><a href="https://www.coin.com/cgi-local/find1Coins.cgi?inventory=55504" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coin.com/cgi-local/find1Coins.cgi?inventory=55504" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://www.coin.com/images/coins/t55504.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>55504 <a href="https://www.coin.com/cgi-local/addItem.cgi?inventory=55504" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coin.com/cgi-local/addItem.cgi?inventory=55504" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://www.coin.com/images/order.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><b>Otho, 69 A.D. ex: Tkalec</b> </p><p>AR Denarius, 3.49g. 18mm.
