<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2705374, member: 19463&quot;]Regarding rarity: I was impressed by a statement in Keith Emmett&#039;s book on Alexandrian coins.&nbsp; He rates rarity on a scale from R1 to R5 but states that R1 through R3 coins would be obtainable by anyone willing to search.&nbsp; This Gordian is common enough that any of us can have one but scarce enough that we will find several other types first and meet some competition from others who prefer the horse to someone sitting there on other coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Who knows/has Gordian III coins that are more scarce than this one?&nbsp; Are they interesting enough to outrank the horse?&nbsp; Compared to many of his 3rd century peers, Gordian ruled for a long time and has many Roman mint types that we see regularly.&nbsp; His most interesting coins all seem to be Provincials.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
