<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2267582, member: 19463&quot;]IMO this is a pretty good example for its stated purpose.&nbsp; The important difference is the AED CVR being in exergue instead of being up under the Scaurus.&nbsp; It is nice to have at least most of that difference on flan.&nbsp; It is not hard to tell the two types apart because of the scorpion and relocated AED CVR being in places that usually are on flan but the having two types makes me prefer coins showing either REX ARETAS or AED CVR clearly.&nbsp; While yours is short the initial A, mine is missing the entire REX which I consider a major problem with the coin - certainly worse than being the &#039;common&#039; type.&nbsp; This is a case where the common coin seems a great improvement over the rare model.&nbsp; Naming the king is what makes the coin unusual and worth having in the first place.&nbsp; No one will convince me that the lack of a scorpion is better than having a scorpion (and I am not the animal collector in residence here).&nbsp; If the distribution of these two were reversed, I would expect the named/scorpion version to sell for several times the price of the coin with missing details.&nbsp; As it is, rarity restores demand so the two probably will sell for about the same price all other things being equal.&nbsp; I wish you well in finding that full legend, full camel coin of the common type.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]451289[/ATTACH] </p><p>Nice, cheap, quick.&nbsp; You can have two and only two.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
