<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2362457, member: 19463&quot;]All of these look alike to those who read Greek and Latin but few coins are any more clearly lettered.&nbsp; I have six different rulers.&nbsp; I was once told that 99% of these we see are from the five common rulers with Dharmasoka being the most common of the others that made up the 1%.&nbsp; I got most of mine from a large lot (500-1000?) at a Baltimore show in 2010.&nbsp; In that group I noticed only only two Dharmasoka so I bought both and the nicest one of the others.&nbsp; I got the IDfrom a website with good photos but seem to have lost the link.&nbsp; I see many offered with bad ID&#039;s and even see some shown upside down which i not a good sign if you are believing the seller is an expert.&nbsp; They are nice, thick, well made coins but I have not noticed rarities in the little looking I have done.&nbsp; These are like Chinese cash where rarities ar for people willing to learn the series enough to separate a $5 coin from a $500 one.&nbsp; My interest does not go that far.&nbsp; Dharmasoka sometimes gets extra play from being a baby but I&#039;m not sure his rarity is as much as I was told years ago.&nbsp; It all come down to whether you are willing to pay a premium for a baby king or a queen (Lilavati) or if what you really want is a single sample not really mattering what the language says. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]482089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]482090[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]482091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]482092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]482093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]482094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]482095[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
