<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3376050, member: 87200&quot;]For me, rare rulers, historical appeal - either the coin closely matches ancient historical sources or in a sense, tells the historical story when the sources are noticeably silent or non-existent. I also like rare reverses and mythological/religious types. My biggest purchase to date has been a matched set of Balbinus and Pupienus.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]895545[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]895547[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>In this case, the coins add to the historical backdrop and are remarkable considering the pair only ruled for 90 days. These days, I&#039;m looking for rare mythological types from Roman Egypt. There is an interesting drachm of Antinous for sale at $9,500 which I haven&#039;t pulled the trigger on yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
