<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2632977, member: 19463&quot;]It is true. If there is only one example and no one cares about it, the value is minimal.&nbsp; We recently had a thread on coins in our collections that we believe are the only one known to exist.&nbsp; Several coins were shown and few of us added those coins to our want lists.&nbsp; The &#039;king&#039; of ancient coins is the Brutus Ides of March denarius of which about 100 exist but thousands of collectors want one. We may have been wrong about our coins being unique but I doubt any of the coins we posted exist in as many as 100.&nbsp; &nbsp; Athenian owl tetradrachms, Tiberius Tribute Pennies and Judaean Widow&#039;s Mites exist by the truckload but are in such demand that they sell easily.&nbsp; Rarity means nothing.&nbsp; Demand is everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
