Relative rarity of SOLI INVICTO COMITI type.
« on: November 25, 2013, 10:33:48 AM »
I noticed that specimens from London, Trier, Rome, Arles, Ticinum and Lugdunum are extremely common. coins from Aquileia and Ostia are scarce but of course rarer are the ones from Siscia.

They may be rarer, but people do not seem as interested in them. For over six months, I have had an example from Siscia in my Vcoins store.

Siscian specimen are hard to find in very nice condition and the style is often a little crude.

I'm collecting all the constantinian mint so i'm interested in Siscian cins too, but i suppose that a normal collector could prefer a common, high grade example from a western mint.

Yes, nice examples from a mint like like Lyons usually sell pretty easily.
