<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1231419, member: 26302&quot;]Boy that is a grumpy looking Trajan! Trajan is one of my favorite emperors, his portraits usually have good style. Very nice coin Mat.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find the column coin very overpriced, like lots of other famous reverses. If I have the money I would take quite a few less famous coins in exchange for that one myself. Trajan&#039;s column, Port of Ostia Nero, etc are fabulous coins, but you have severe competition from doctors who took a trip to Rome and wanted a coin with the column set. I see the same with competition for Cleo VII coins, Marc Antony, and especially Julius Caesar. I have some of these, but believe the prices are way higher than rarity would dictate due to name familiarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not many people walk into a coin store wanting an Elagabalus or a Probus unless they are ancient collectors. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> While one of the &quot;famous&quot; coins could be a wonderful capstone to a collection, having just one Trajan that is a column would look a lot more like a dentist&#039;s part time time waste than a serious ancient collector&#039;s collection. No offense Camaro![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
