<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8195860, member: 84905&quot;]I think for most collectors rarity as such is not sought after. Most collectors look for attractive coins with especially attractive depictions and legends. If these coins are rare, this is just an unfortunate coincidence.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, the coin below is rare.&nbsp; The reverse type is not recorded for Aurelian:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435546[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I doubt that non-specialist collectors would pay a premium for this. After all the reverse is well known from Quintillus and it is not particularly exiting either.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, the next coin (a recent and happy acquisition of mine) is both rare and attractive, because both the bust type and the reverse are very rare and very attractive. Most collector would want one of these, even if the coin wasn&#039;t rare:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435568[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
