There are multiple of them in every sale and they seem to continuously bring prices that outpace what I would expect based on the apparent rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are coins that, although plentiful, bring high prices due to popular demand (Owls, Alexanders, Tyrian Shekel, etc). But this coin seems to be outpacing even those famous types, although I never would have realized that Tigranes II bust coin would be so popular.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this a rare coin and a hoard was recently discovered? Did a bunch of Syrian/Armenian millionaires decide to start collecting ancient coins all of the sudden? Is there some historical significance or symbolism that I&#039;m missing? Or am I just imagining things?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example, not my coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1568515[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
