<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 4024044, member: 31620&quot;]Hi Doug,</p><p>I had been pondering this too. Year 1 coins can be on a shorter production volume based on when the emperor rose to power, in this case September. SO they can be generally scarcer than Year 2 etc. We also have the Vabalathus situation here which undoubtedly would have had an influence. There seem to be many more Year 1 double headed coins than Aurelian only so we could assume the Vabalathus control was a major factor. There is also a possibility that many of these coins have gone overlooked as they are &quot;just another Alexandrian Tet. with an Eagle&quot;. I have seen (and now bought) another of these year 1 coins which was labelled as blandly as this in a dealer stock &quot;Aurelian, Tetradrachm, Alexandria&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside. Here is a quickly snatched image of the obverses of the group that I bought and am working through.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1058250[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
