<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2320527, member: 42034&quot;]So what&#039;s a coin of Charlemagne worth these days?&nbsp; Of course I&#039;ll exclude the super rare (&amp; expensive) portrait varieties so just the non portrait ones?</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently these are made in many types: the more desirable having his title Carolvs with IMP for his coronation in the year 800 AD.&nbsp; I understand there are some books out on these but haven&#039;t been able to track them down.&nbsp; Also there are varieties with his name in a couple of lines, presumably minted before he was crowned Emperor.&nbsp; Are these worth anything?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also were his pieces duplicated (like some Roman Emperors or tetradrachma of Alexander) by other Kings of the day?&nbsp; Thus a coin may be marked Carolvs but have been minted by some contemporary non-entity such as Leo III.</p><p><br /></p><p>Naturally value is dependent on condition.&nbsp; Let&#039;s leave condition out of it and just talk about the desirability of the different types.&nbsp; Assume a decent condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any insights.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
