<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brassnautilus, post: 2366083, member: 74300&quot;]for a type struck with so many different dies, that&#039;s not impossible<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie53" alt=":hungover:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think though, the expansive Eid Mar are expansive because of their condition (and rarity of specimens in such condition), and that probably had little to do with historical significance of the type or the total amount that&#039;s accounted for.</p><p>Many imperatorial types are like that, where there&#039;s a big margin between high and low quality pieces, and a hoard that increased availability significantly would change that situation drastically.</p><p><br /></p><p>There would only be that many people willing and capable of affording above certain threshold.
