<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1823410, member: 31620&quot;]Milne doesn&#039;t give scarcity ratings but Emmett does. You have to be careful when comparing these references as they are not always equivalent. Milne allocates a different number to different obverse legend breaks, minor bust variations, year letter positions etc. whereas Emmett lumps all coins of a reverse type to a single number where this single number has multiple entries indicating whic years that number applies to with a scarcity rating per year and thus you can see Emmett references written Emmett 813 (2) R4 meaning Emmett # 813, Year 2 and scarcity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Emmett gives some detail on where he looked in a cross reference section at the back of his book. A closer look at Emmett makes me doubt the scaricty given to the Hadrian. This reverse type appears in two section in Milne with two different obverse legend variants. Milne 4 different coins of this type one with one legend type and three with a different legend but with different legend breaks. This Hadrian has obverse legend AVT KAIC TPAIANOC ADPIANOC. </p><p><br /></p><p>You should use these as a guide to how scarce the types are but they are far from absolute. The fact that there aren&#039;t too many of these online is a good indication but again far from absolute.</p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
