<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2737557, member: 83956&quot;]I&#039;m thinking more in terms of scarcity rather than popularity. Hannibalianus can command a premium not because he&#039;s popular but because there just aren&#039;t very many coins of his around.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just pointing out the obvious: that people aren&#039;t striking Roman coins anymore. Or at least not genuine Roman coins.&nbsp; There&#039;s a finite number of them. If the hoard finds slow down, will even common LRBs eventually become desirable and scarce as previous finds&nbsp; will already enjoy a place in collections? Or will the supply of these common coins always outstrip demand, regardless of future find frequency?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just trying to imagine what this hobby might look like 25 or even 50 years from now.&nbsp; Will future collectors look back to the present time and say, &quot;Could you REALLY buy a genuine Valens coin for $20 off of eBay?&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
