[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2533861, member: 75525"]Sorry for the double post of this coin, but I found it because of this discussion of rare. The coin has a symbol not listed in my Roman Republican coin books. That makes it a bit uncommon. The auction company did not mention "unlisted in Crawford", "rare", or any of the other rare buzzwords in the coin description. [ATTACH=full]541857[/ATTACH] Q. Titius AE As, Rome, 90 BC. Obv - Laureate head of Janus Rev - Prow of galley right; Q TITI above, control symbol to right. Crawford 341/4d; Grueber Rome 2236 Sydenham 694b. Sear 743 RBW 1279 9.26g, 26mm, 9h. In the absence of some other feature like historical significance, beauty, etc. rare is not a big value adder for an ancient coin. For what it is worth, I think this coin has poor art work.
