[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 6447519, member: 91820"]Thank you Doug - You are right about the die link - I had it confused with two other examples - I am so pressed for time lately but that is a poor excuse for not being more careful. I am also clearly wrong about making conclusions about the underweight examples that I have seen. What you say about not seeing any of the coins you had sold in 1974 coming up for sale again is interesting. I have often wondered what happened to the large numbers of coins that were sold in the early to mid 2000's. And - again - it is dangerous to make conclusions on scant evidence. As I have mentioned, I keep loose leaf notebooks of sestertii - something about seeing them on something other than a screen - and I have noticed is how few of them ever reappear for sale. Of course that is not true in all cases - it is too generalized a statement and acsearch.info shows the same coins appearing and reappearing. Perhaps it is wishful thinking, as if the market will somehow get saturated and prices will moderate. Maybe once in a lifetime - ca. 2004, is all that something like that happens.[/QUOTE]
