<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 5194819, member: 26302"]I think it would depend on how persnickity you were about your "Type" set definition. I think most emperors have coins with but a few examples known if you want to get really granular. For ancients, effectively every die can be labeled a "type" if you followed US standards, (there are two leaves instead of three under the wing...). So, depending on how picky you want to get it could be doable. A friend has a collection of Domitian and he has quite a few coins that are unpublished and he is only aware of 1-4 examples he has ever seen in 40 years of collecting. I bet every emperor is the same except for the very short lived emperors. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, it depends on LEVEL of type you consider unique.
