<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3181067, member: 19463&quot;]I suspect just being part of Trajan&#039;s REST series was enough.&nbsp; All of them are rare and expensive but there would be some more popular than others.&nbsp;&nbsp; As I recall the story, Trajan demonetized the early coins and issued the REST series to provide collectible sets for those who wanted them.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe they were intended for circulation any more than our modern commemoratives that are issued over face value.&nbsp; I do not recall where I heard/read that story.&nbsp; Anyone?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
