Message:: [QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 4665026, member: 84744"]I have the same Aemilian, but not nearly as nice.  Yours is absolutely beautiful!  I agree it's rare.  Yours has a good chance of being best of type I'd say.[ATTACH=full]1150521[/ATTACH] Seems to me the Mag Max is rare too.  "Extremely rare" is perhaps a bit of an exaggeration.  Here's a Mag Max I consider to be extremely rare:[ATTACH=full]1150522[/ATTACH] It's a Constantinople issue for him, which is surprising because he was a usurper of course.  It proves there was a short period at the end of 383 or the beginning of 384 when Theodosius I officially recognized him.  I've only seen one other example, sold by CNG in 2008.  It's an obverse die match, which helps to confirm that it was a very small issue. I wish I had a nice Marius like that!  Again, "very rare" seems an exaggeration.  "Scarce," maybe?  Judging by the number of examples on acsearch, that is.[/QUOTE]
