<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2840358, member: 74282"]It depends on how you define duplicates. I don't buy duplicates(other than to upgrade) that I consider duplicates, however a difference in control-mark, mintmark, legends or sometimes style make it a different coin to me. Here is an example. Going strictly by catalog numbers(except the Russo RBW catalog), these two would be duplicates but I consider them to be different enough, because of style, to be worth having both:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]671737[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Republic AR quinarius(16.3 mm, 1.94 g, 11 h).
