[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3447145, member: 74968"]I love the tiger! Here is an example where the rarity was the driver and not the condition. This coin is listed as R3 (unique) in RIC. Since publication in 2007, a few but very few have surfaced. What makes this rare is the lack of devices on the reverse in between and below the figures of Titus and Domitian. When this appeared I knew I wanted it regardless of condition. Yes it is a little rough. Yes, the flan is irregular. Did I care? No. I knew that if I did not buy it the chances of seeing another in my lifetime were small to none. I look at it everyday and do not regret the purchase one bit. This is a group 1 unmarked denarius from 69-70 CE. It is RIC 1395. [ATTACH=full]915260[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
