<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3116171, member: 83956&quot;]I voted for #3. I think to care about rarities, you have to know what you&#039;re looking at. I don&#039;t. At least not for Claudius II. So absent that knowledge, I&#039;m not going to care about a rare reverse. I do know, however, that Claudius II coins are typically pretty ugly. So a nice example like #3, with details of hair and beard, catches my eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it all goes back to a question [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] posted a while back--how much do you value a rarity, especially if not many people are aware it&#039;s a rarity?</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look at this coin. Apparently the seller believes a pellet in the right reverse field turns a $100 coin into a $1000 coin. Not for me it doesn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/romae_aeternae_numismatics/136/product/constantine_i_the_great_follis_jupiter_wreath_unrecorded_pellet_very_rare_ef/1001354/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/romae_aeternae_numismatics/136/product/constantine_i_the_great_follis_jupiter_wreath_unrecorded_pellet_very_rare_ef/1001354/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/romae_aeternae_numismatics/136/product/constantine_i_the_great_follis_jupiter_wreath_unrecorded_pellet_very_rare_ef/1001354/Default.aspx</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
