<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3212087, member: 74968&quot;]I am not knowledgeable on all areas of Nero&#039;s coinage, but I may have a little to offer as far as the denarii are concerned.You have to separate his coinage into pre reform and post reform. Some post reform denarii for example are common but there are a number of rare issues. Remember though that Nero debased the coinage in 2 ways. He decreased the amount of silver in the denarii and reduced the weight. This made the later coins less desirable. The pre reform denarii on the other hand are both better quality and much much harder to find. My guess is that people hoarded the earlier more valuable denarii. It is also possible that many of these were melted down and re- tariffed as post reform denarii.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you shopped for pre reform denarii lately? They are not only hard to find but are highly sought after among collectors. This tends to drive the prices very high indeed. I have 2 in my collection but I am always on the lookout for more. The are not only sought after and rare, but they are also far more interesting in terms of reverses than the ore common type of post reform denarii.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
