<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1618357, member: 19463&quot;]IMHO you are much more likely to get $100 for half a Pescennnius than $50 for a broken Constans.&nbsp; RIC rarities are little more than jokes and the market for coins that earn R4 based on a minor mintmark variation would be largely limited to nicer coins.&nbsp; I doubt this coin would sell for $5.&nbsp; There are people out there who really want a Niger and might consider a big piece of one at the right price.&nbsp; I would not be surprised if someone bought it for $100 since the number of these available at that price is pretty small.&nbsp; Some of us are more bothered by a coin being broken than others.&nbsp; Niger coins tend to be bad metal that breaks easily so this coin could be rated as better than some just because you have the important parts of the face.&nbsp; If I owned the coin, I&#039;d keep it.&nbsp; I would not pay $100 for it but someone will.&nbsp; I am very hard on missing pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m no expert but I&#039;d guess this one as Caesarea mint by style. There has been a lot of study on these since RIC came out and I don&#039;t keep up with coins I can&#039;t afford.&nbsp; My only one is what I&#039;m calling Antioch and cost $140 a decade ago.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH]229600.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
