A &quot;generic&quot; Roma head type valued at 60 pounds really is going to be a lot harder to find than one valued at 30 pounds. There are anomalies--the scarce but not rare denarius of Q. Pomponius Rufus, Crawford 398/1, valued at an astronomical 1300 pounds is a dramatic one*--but all told the prices in RSC I are a much more reliable measure of relative rarity than Charles Hersh&#039;s erratic rarity guide in Sydenham.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis</p><p><br /></p><p>*I&#039;ve always suspected that this is a typo and the intended price was a modest 130 pounds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
