[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8353286, member: 80952"]Hi @pashka. From my point of view - and I'm sure others share it - the appeal of an ancient coin is not caused solely by rarity. You can have a very rare coin but it will not be as popular as one might expect. Or a coin that is common but everybody wants one in the collection. A very good example - the Athens owl tetradrachms. Are they rare? Absolutely not. But are they desired? I think all the ancient coins collectors would want one. I will also receive in a few minutes (and probably post it on CT) another COMMON ancient coin, in an average condition, but very desirable, I think, due to symbolism on it. What is important is that you like your coins, they fit your collecting area and tastes. Everybody has different preferences. If I see a coin similar to yours in an auction, it will not be my top priority, but for a collector who specializes in Provincials / Severus Alexander coins / Cappadocia coins, it might be extremely appealing.[/QUOTE]
