<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 3087389, member: 83175&quot;]Yes, for the later RIC volumes in particular, the rarity ratings aren&#039;t useful as LRBs are probably under-represented in the museum collections consulted by the authors and many coins from behind the Iron Curtain have appeared on the market since, diluting the rarities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some coins seem to be made from Unobtainium, while the references will suggest they&#039;re relatively common and vice versa.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know someone who has an example of Tiberius RIC 81 or 82 (the one with the head right, the head left is much more common) and while it&#039;s listed as Scarce, he&#039;s only seen one other online, over many years of looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know Rasiel Suarez (dirtyoldcoins, Tantalus) was mining eBay and all the online auctions he could find to get prices and sales occurrences of more-or-less every ancient coin - over several years, that should give a good idea of what&#039;s on the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
