<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2147281, member: 19463&quot;]We need to remember that Ras&#039; list intended no Provincials and did not count the common Vabalathus/Aurelian.&nbsp; Tranquillina and Diadumenian provincials are relatively common especially if we count the two headed types with Gordian and Macrinus.&nbsp; It might be nice to have a list that included provincials buy we need to beware of sellers using this list to convince beginners to pay too much for something that was not intended. </p><p><br /></p><p>I find it interesting that five of the 11 Caesars made the top 25.&nbsp; Claudius I is more common that Claudius II?&nbsp; Trajan, Hadrian and Pius all beat Gallienus?&nbsp; A lot of this is from market forces rather than absolute rarity.&nbsp; Popular coins sell; coins that sell get offered more often.&nbsp; Going by the list, my next purchases should be Balbinus and Pupienus.&nbsp; I have not seen either that appealed to me for years so I suspect they are most common among the expensive coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
