<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2265764, member: 19463&quot;]Not being listed in a book can hurt a value since demand requires people know something exists.&nbsp; Several of us have coins more rare than EID MAR denarii (population 100?) when it comes to census but no one wants ours and everyone wants the murder coin.&nbsp; Nobody (except a few specialists) wants another ugly but rare/unique Severus. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coins like &#039;any&#039; Aemelian are more popular than greater rarities from more common rulers since there are so many &#039;one per emperor&#039; collectors.&nbsp; They don&#039;t have to be interesting or beautiful to punch your ticket for yet another ruler.&nbsp; I paid twice as much for one of the coins below as for the other. That means the seller considered the chance of finding a sale for an Aemelian twice as good as for another Volusian.&nbsp; Would as many want this same coin in Gordian III? </p><p><br /></p><p>Volusian, Antioch, Pisidia</p><p>[ATTACH=full]450583[/ATTACH] </p><p>Aemelian, same city</p><p>[ATTACH=full]450584[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Would these be more popular if the die cutters could spell?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
