[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2629644, member: 8959"]I do not think I have any coins in my collection of which only 1 example is known, and certainly [B]nothing[/B] to match some of the coins you guys have posted, for example Alegandrons's example. [SIZE=4]The closest I get to 'almost unique' within the realm of ancients coins would be this sestertius of Vespasian. As far as I have been able to trace, the only other example known with this reverse legend ([B]Augvsti Victoria[/B] instead of the usual [B]Victoria Augvsti[/B]) is in the BMC collection. [/SIZE] [SIZE=4][ATTACH=full]578416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]578417[/ATTACH] Example in the BMC collection: [ATTACH=full]578418[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4]Another one which seems to be quite rare is this denarius of Marcus Aurelius. It bears a [/SIZE][SIZE=5]draped[/SIZE][SIZE=4] bust of the [/SIZE][SIZE=5]emperor,[/SIZE] [SIZE=5]whereas[/SIZE][SIZE=4] the overwhelming number of examples of this type bear a bare head. Not significant, but interesting I think. Apparently the Deka Revnia hoard also had an example of this type. [/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]578419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]578420[/ATTACH] [/SIZE][/QUOTE]
