<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4756635, member: 97383&quot;]The Wass Molitor $10 coin sold for $19,704.38. Rarity isn&#039;t a logical reason to give a coin special treatment regarding condition, &amp; rarity doesn&#039;t determine the value of a coin. U.S. coins have a huge following that has grown enormously over the last 30 years, &amp; ancient coin collectors are minuscule by comparison. Fame, notoriety, historical importance &amp; <u>demand</u> determines value. To illustrate my point lets look at two different coins. The coin pictured below, the Ides of March denarius, sold at auction for $546,250.00. There are at least 50 known examples of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1160596[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin pictured below, McAlee 1006, is listed as Very Rare with only 5 known examples. If this coin sold for more than $150.00 I would be shocked.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1160597[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Antioch-Syria, Philip II as Caesar, AD 244-247 (struck AD 244).
