<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1836868, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with the others. What I had always heard was copper in RIC was dramatically overestimated for rarity since most of the coins sampled for the series were from museum collections. Most museums simply did not want tens of thousands of seemingly identical copper coins, so many of these coins were not present. However, estimating total population rarity only using museum holdings was a significant pitfall that the authors unfortunately fell into. Also, remember most of these books were written before the iron curtain fell. Coins from places like Siscia used to be much rarer on the market than today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
