<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3595606, member: 19463"]This is a perfect example of why lrbguy is right to be confused after 30 years in the hobby. Of the bunch, I would value the 2010 CNG coin as the least desirable due to what I consider poor obverse style. Severus Alexander is a respected member of our community so when we can not even agree on best vs. worst how can we possibly assign cash values on any given day in any given place. People in NYC, London, Paris etc. pay and expect to pay more for everything they buy - not just coins. There is no price guide for ancient coins like a Redbook for good reason. We each will pay what we will pay and wonder why someone else pays what they pay for coins we don't like well enough to buy for any price. I don't own a Venus Genetrici Domna but do have a few dozen Domna denarii I would not trade for any of the coins shown here. Most are from other mints. This is the game as we play it. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, I prefer the 2009 CNG coin ($135) shown last above but consider the $58 coin the best fit for me despite its lesser style reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
