<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Restitutor, post: 4800809, member: 112621&quot;]Oh I agree! I did not mean to imply I collect based off the base metal. I meant more... since a sestertius was less valuable then a denarius in ancient times, I would expect there to be more sestertii around today. So I would perhaps expect a similarly beautiful denarius to go for more than a similarly beautiful sestertius. It seems however sestertii are less common than denarii in today’s auctions, and so in that comparison the sestertius would sell for more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Especially high quality sestertii that have not been modified in modern times. So I’m also intrigued as to why we see more denarii of EF grade, that have not been tooled/smoothed etc, vs sestertii. Or perhaps I’m just not looking in the right places <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
