<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2610835, member: 44316&quot;]Here is proof details can make a big difference. Do you have a Postumus SERAPI COMITI AVG? I do. But, look at this one first:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]571116[/ATTACH] </p><p>Jacquier sale 42, lot 540: Estimate 1000 euros, PR 4600 euros (+ fee)!</p><p>Wow!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now look at their next lot with the same reverse legend and almost the same type:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]571115[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Jacquier sale 42, lot 541: Estimate 85 euros. PR 85 euros.</p><p>This one is not as nice as the previous one, but that can not explain all the difference in price. The lot description of the previous coin says</p><p>&quot;The reverse is taken from the coinage of the Caracalla; this very rare variant with the vertical scepter is the prototype of the following type Cunetio 2421. This coin is from another stamp [die] than the 6 otherwise known copies.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>More than 4000 euros extra for a vertical scepter? That seems a bit much to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my example:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]571113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]571114[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sorry to say my scepter is not vertical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
