<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David@PCC, post: 3984182, member: 80556&quot;]My coin finally showed up and wanted to see how many I could find. I wasn&#039;t concerned with the type, denomination, or legend break ect, but with how many exist for this particular ruler. I searched museums, dealer stock, and online archives (I don&#039;t use paid subscriptions) and found 78 examples for this particular ruler. Of course there is no way of knowing how many are in private hands or if a person is hoarding them, but at least we know X number have to exist. I&#039;ve read some consider Eid Mar Denarii to <b>not</b> be rare because 100 or more are known to exist, but that is just one type. Would the same be said if only 100 coins of Julius Caesar were ever known to exist? So my question is what does everyone consider an amount of coins known to exist for a ruler for it to be rare?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the coin that prompted the question.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1049094[/ATTACH]</p><p>Timarchus, usurper</p><p>Ecbatana</p><p>164 to 161 BC</p><p>Obvs: Diademed head of Timarchus right, dotted border.</p><p>Revs: BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ MEΓAΛOY TIMAPXΟΥ, Nike advancing left holding palm frond and crowning royal name.</p><p>AE 33x34mm, 28.58g</p><p>Ref: SC 1598; HGC 10, 769(R2)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
