<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3497172, member: 76086&quot;]Finding rare small variants (such as legends, postures, mintmarks, etc) are fairly easy to come by.&nbsp; Rare types by themselves are much harder to come by, although in my 30+ years I have found quite a lot of them, some by accident, some in lots, just about every method (including major auctions where they were somehow missed).&nbsp; This is my most recent find:</p><p><br /></p><p>Pontus, Amisos, Time of Aemilian, 284 AD</p><p>AE22, 7.74 grams</p><p>Obverse:&nbsp; AMICOY EΛEYΘΕPAC, Head of Dionysos right wearing ivy leaf crown.</p><p>Reverse:&nbsp; ETOYC CΠΔ, Vertical filleted thrysus.</p><p>RPC Online 1233</p><p><br /></p><p>Fairly rare, only two specimens cited and both in museum collections.&nbsp; Are there more?&nbsp; Maybe but not likely.&nbsp; It appears this could be the only example available to collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]926535[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
