<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3962559, member: 19463"]I believe that is the point of this post. The type is nothing but common but it is not evenly distributed among the denominations. We do not know why but someone could analyze the hoard data and die links possibly to determine if the coins were made in varying numbers or if it happened that one huge hoard made a rare coin originally appear common. It is not unreasonable for every known example of an ancient coin to have come from one find and we never know when someone will find a pot full that doubles the number known. Some collectors see no difference and group all coins of one person as KINDA the same. Others pay attention to details so small that most people do not notice them. I am not a Mamaea collector and only have three of her coins in my general collection. This type is not one. Whether that qualifies as KINDA one of these depends on your definitions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Correct answer![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
