Message:: [QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 7589882, member: 51347"]I like to use "Hard to Find", as I know "RARE" can be "misused" exactly as [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] explained.  However, I often POST "Rare" as it was in the original attributions that I cut-and-pasted.  I try to edit it, as appropriate.  And, yes, I DO have several truly "RARE" coins (under 10 known) in my collection. Most of my "Hard to Find" coins are NOT-Roman Empire (CE era), rather they are from Roman Republic or many of those States, Cities, etc. that interacted with the Roman Republic (generally BCE era). Here is one I enjoy: <img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2019-6-10_18-34-44-png.948066/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Etruria, Populonia2 ½ asses 3rd century BC, AR 0.85 g.
