<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3395823, member: 19463&quot;]Another question:</p><p>If Flavian rarities based on dating numbers (not things like the Colosseum sestertii) appear in a widely distributed sale (CNG level) but the description does not explain the rarity, how do the bids compare to exceptionally nice but common coins of the same type but with more common numbers?&nbsp; In Severan, I see really rare numbers selling for very little more while grade means a great deal more.&nbsp; That may be a sign of the relatively fewer people collecting the series.&nbsp; The Severan things that stand out as different to everyone always sell well but I have bought rare minor variations for little or no more than the similar common coin but know I have no chance whatsoever for things like the arch even though the CNG site shows them having sold six of them. </p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=175854" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=175854" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=175854</a></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/big/86000750.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In that same time CNG has sold fewer than six Emesa Minerva coins (all scarce) and none with an owl (unless I missed it).&nbsp; I paid $80 (to someone you know) for this one and have seen none since (Martin may have one???).&nbsp; Does rarity matter?&nbsp; Is that different in Flavians?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]902041[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
