<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1673602, member: 19463&quot;]Last week I had a conversation with someone in the know to the effect that we had no idea when they first were recognized just how common the Alexandria mint Pertinax denarii were.&nbsp; Because they are only separated from Rome mint coins by style, we thought we were getting in on the ground floor when we bought them.&nbsp; More hoards have surfaced.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know that they should sell for less than the Rome coins but they should carry no premium.&nbsp; Of course there are still many dealers who feel comfortable buying and selling thousand dollar coins but who have not learned the difference here.&nbsp; It has been 20 years since these were recognized as Alexandria coins an we still see some listed as from Rome.&nbsp; Personally, I prefer the portrait styles on the Alexandrian coins and do not own a Rome mint one to show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
