<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5489744, member: 19463"]Only considering Rome mint, I'd probably say most reigns have more interesting AE than AR. It is just an opinion but IMO the best coins of Pius are his Alexandrian AE which includes more great mythological scenes that you will find in any other place. They can be very expensive in poor condition. Commodus has more interesting Alexandrian tetradrachms but has a few good AE. The 'coins' to dream of for Commodus are his bimetallic medallions. There was a decent one in the last Triton but it had a condition problem on the reverse and went cheaply. The one in Triton XXIII was in better grade so it went for a more respectable number. </p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Lots.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&CONTAINER_NAME=&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=&ITEM_DESC=commodus+medallion&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&VIEW_TYPE=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Lots.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&CONTAINER_NAME=&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=&ITEM_DESC=commodus+medallion&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&VIEW_TYPE=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Lots.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&CONTAINER_NAME=&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=&ITEM_DESC=commodus+medallion&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&VIEW_TYPE=0</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
