<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2378897, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m sure most missed the point of this thread.&nbsp; Licinius issued millions of coins of thousands of issues from a dozen mints each of which changed things as they saw fit.&nbsp; Rarity ratings in RIC or what shows up online in sales may or may not reflect exactly what exists since all of one particular variety may have been found in one hoard and may have all gone to museums or may have all been sold years ago and now reside in collections rather than dealer stocks.&nbsp; If you read RIC, you see how these issues interrelated with each other but most people just want a catalog number and do not really care what factors contributed to that listing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Today I ordered a coin of Constantine the Great that was from an issue that included a type for Martinian.&nbsp; I may post it when it comes (if it comes since it is from overseas and my luck has been bad there) but most people will just see a vf coin no different than a hundred others.&nbsp; I pointed out that I look for different things on coins.&nbsp; This one has &#039;nice&#039; style which is where it would get any desirability but most still would rather have a mint state common variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
