<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBGood, post: 3625901, member: 38987&quot;]I have another &quot;observation of my collection&quot;, so this is an empirical type question and not one based on other facts. I buy denarii when and if they come up for auction. I am not buying based on any criteria except visual appeal and price. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, in reviewing my collection of 66 denarii I have reasonable representation (65 of them) for the time period of 148 BC through 270 AD the time roughly when the empire was falling apart and the antoninanus and other denominations displaced the denarius all together. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a 63 year gap between 211 BC (when this denomination was first produced) until 148 BC. Is this because of &quot;rarity&quot; and these coins do not come on auction frequently or is this an artifact of lower production during this period? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
