<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bart9349, post: 1258350, member: 5682&quot;]Interesting thread. Quick question: Which rarity ratings do people use?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen the RIC II (2007) listed as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC II, Part I, Second Fully Revised Edition (2007)</p><p>C2: Extremely common</p><p>C: Common</p><p>R: Rare</p><p>R2: Very rare</p><p>R3 - Unique [only one in the collections examined]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=rare" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=rare" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=rare</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And a quick request:</p><p><br /></p><p>Please don&#039;t assume that most of us know what you are talking about. I appreciate Ancient Doug&#039;s explanations. :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>Except for a select few of you guys, most of us are clueless when it comes to some of the arcana of Ancient numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many well-known and respected Ancient historians have a gap in their knowledge of Ancient numismatics. They would like to ask questions, but they feel too intimidated to ask.</p><p><br /></p><p>I, on the other hand, am not afraid to ask &quot;stupid&quot; questions since I don&#039;t have a reputation to uphold in numismatics, Ancient history, or most anything else. :bart:</p><p><br /></p><p>So, please, please, please. Don&#039;t forget about those of us who are novice numismatists or those of us non-numismatists (as I am) who have an interest in Ancient history and appreciate the role numismatics can play to better understand it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
