<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2978226, member: 76440&quot;]I don&#039;t know the circumstances of this particular coin type, but as collectors of ancient coins we are always at risk that our rarities will suddenly become common upon release of a new hoard into the market or the sale of an old collection.&nbsp; Consider the Cassius tripod types of the late Roman Republic as an example - from very rare to merely scarce in the blink of an eye.&nbsp; Maybe these dicalchalkons were genuinely rare when Emmett wrote his book, or perhaps it was underrepresented in museums as you suggest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
