<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3622777, member: 19463&quot;]It seems relatively few people specialize in these trying to get a set of all major variations so the market price is mostly based on condition and style. The Nikomedia mint 2.6g example below is well struck on a good flan and shows the variant case ending in -i rather than -is.&nbsp; The weight tells us it was produced alongside the two soldier, two standards portrait series.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]971334[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The later, lighter (under 2g.) series that accompanied the two soldier, one standard coins are less well made and harder to find in good shape. Shallow collectors like me avoid them so I only have one from Antioch to show.&nbsp; It was selected for the spelling error NI for IN but I doubt there are enough people willing to overlook the lesser surfaces to give it the value of the prettier coin above.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]971335[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
