<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1637747, member: 19463&quot;]The Caracalla bronze would probably be the most generally recognized as special but few would care that it has the four step reverse in place of the common five.&nbsp; There was a drawing on one in Banti (IV-I).&nbsp; There is a match to the Domna in Paris.&nbsp;&nbsp; The legionary is unlisted because of the IICOS on the reverse.&nbsp; Just being a legionary is not special; just being an Emesa legionary is just a little special.&nbsp; Left facers are not common but what is unusual&nbsp; is to find more than one example of the same reverse with head left.&nbsp; I wonder why there are so many types with a left but so few examples of each?&nbsp;&nbsp; Mardvnvm and I each have coins that the other would really like but mine aren&#039;t for sale.&nbsp; After all what would I do with four extra limbs when I had no coins to hold in them?&nbsp; The point is whether it is worth collecting a coin that is as poor as these just because they are not found better?&nbsp; I do know a couple coins that are equally rare but I can&#039;t afford because the one known is EF and popular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
