<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 3166400, member: 39084&quot;]The history behind this coin is unassailable; that fact alone makes it one of the most significant ancient coins ever minted.&nbsp; As a collector for whom the history of ancient coins is one of the top two reason to collect, that would be sufficient to make this coin desirable regardless of its rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Uh... to what &quot;marketing story&quot; are you referring?&nbsp; Who can possibly &quot;market&quot; a coin that has appeared and been sold privately or in auctions maybe 2 - 3 times in the last 30 - 40 years?&nbsp; Maybe you&#039;re thinking of Tiberius&#039; &quot;tribute penny&quot; denarius?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, everyone on this site clearly had already figured this out.&nbsp; It&#039;s reasonable to infer from your post that, if you actually have an interest in ancient coins, that interest tilts toward the commercial aspects of those coins, rather than historical or numismatic aspects.&nbsp; That&#039;s fine -- it would probably serve you well if you&#039;re a dealer -- but from the perspective of one who is primarily and solely a collector, this is simply an amazing coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
