<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2895162, member: 74282"]It's always difficult to say exactly how many "exist", I think the best anyone can say is how many examples are known to them(or someone else) and believed to be authentic. Cahn knew of 56 and at least a few new examples have come to market since then as well as at least one new example found in an archaeological context(cf. Adam-Veleni Polixeni papers on the finds at Florina). Somewhere in the 60-80 range sounds about right for the number of examples known to me without actually taking the time to sit down and count them but for the number that actually exist, there's really no telling given the reality of how ancients are found and how hoards come to market. Given the number of dies used to strike EID MAR denarii I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear that a hoard containing several examples is found at some point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
