<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2365767, member: 19463&quot;]It may be a meaningless question but I believe the market could absorb a reasonable size group of new EID MAR denarii without a lot of problem. There are about 100 of the things and at least 1000 people who would love to have one so the added opportunity to get one would be met with at least as many additional people waving big money.&nbsp; Certainly a mint bagful of 5000 would be a problem to people who paid $100,000 for VF&#039;s but we&#039;ll worry about that when we come to it.&nbsp; EID MAR is not &#039;just&#039; a rare coin but commemorating the most famous murder of history as it does complete with legend dating the event would make it the kind of coin that every collector would buy if they were as common as Tribute Pennies or owl tetradrachms.&nbsp; I just hope that IF they find that bag of 5000 we find them to be die linked to the existing specimens so we don&#039;t have to go through the endless arguments over authenticity we saw with the Black Sea Hoard coins and several types since.&nbsp; There are still a few people who do not believe in the authenticity of the ones we have (especially the gold) so we really do not need 5000 new coins all from the same dies that probably are genuine but who really knows???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
