<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 4666846, member: 84744&quot;]Thanks - yup, the Mag Max is mine. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Acsearch is a fantastic tool.&nbsp; Yes, there&#039;s a fee if you want your searches to include results, but it&#039;s quite reasonable.&nbsp; (50 euros a year, maybe?&nbsp; I can&#039;t remember.)&nbsp; If you buy more than a dozen coins a year it easily pays for itself.&nbsp; CoinArchives is also great, but expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] did a far more thorough investigation of your Aemilian.&nbsp; (One small correction, though: the earlier legend is PIVS FEL AVG rather than P F AVG.)&nbsp; Mine is the earlier RIC 7, but with a standard between Aemilian and the tripod.&nbsp; RIC notes this as a variant &quot;needing confirmation.&quot;&nbsp; There are a couple on acsearch.&nbsp; Does anyone care?&nbsp; Probably not.&nbsp; Though NAC speculates it&#039;s a first issue, with a generic portrait because the engravers didn&#039;t know what he looked like.&nbsp; I suppose that adds some interest.&nbsp; (It does for me.)</p><p><br /></p><p>As others have said, rarity by itself doesn&#039;t mean a lot.&nbsp; If it&#039;s non-flyspecking though (e.g. a reverse design), or has some special numismatic or historical significance that makes it significantly more desirable than its run-of-the-mill competitors, then rarity can make the price rise quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
