<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1720949, member: 19463&quot;]It is amazing how we find falling horsemen, wolves and twins and racing bigas boring not because they are bad but because we have seen a lot of them and want things more different.&nbsp; US collectors seem to love their Liberty heads and eagles not to mention Lincoln busts to the point that they want a hundred differing only by a date number and a little letter stuck somewhere in a mechanically reproduced die.&nbsp; If they were common, how many of us would collect EID MAR denarii by die variety?&nbsp; What is the smallest difference in design that makes the biggest difference in price/demand for an ancient coin?&nbsp; I&#039;m sure that it will be hard to beat adding a VDB to a 1909S or an S to a 1909 VDB.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Banti rarity ratings of the rape scene variations range from R8 to R2.&nbsp;&nbsp; Few care; fewer pay a premium for one or the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
