<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2687352, member: 19463&quot;]By the standards of his day. Gordian ruled for a long time.&nbsp; His reign saw the final switch over from denarii to antoniniani in bulk so there was demand for a lot of the new coins to replace all the denarii people were hoarding while they could still get them.&nbsp; Gordian&#039;s silver denarii are the last common ones made.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are two factors that make a coin common.&nbsp; Least important is how many were made.&nbsp; Most important is how many survive. A few chance finds of huge quantities of any coin can make it common.&nbsp;&nbsp; These are guesses.&nbsp; Which seem reasonable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
