[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7800994, member: 75937"]Though I have studied the various "tribute penny" denarii, I don't know much about the bronzes of this reverse type and whether the coin is truly rare or not. I do caution you, however, that the rarity designations in RIC are based upon the number of museum specimens in existence and not upon how often a coin is encountered in coin dealers' stock or auction listings. There are lots of coins that RIC labels as "common" even though they are next to impossible to buy and lots that RIC claims are "rare" but which one could purchase any day of the week.[/QUOTE]
