The rarest in my collection according to this list would be Maximus (179). I knew Maximus was rare, but I did not realize he was this rare. The next would be Nero Claudius Drusus (133)

According to your list steve mine would be Eudoxia, but in the list I talked about earlier (scroll down to table 2), my rarest would be Zeno. So for me a bit of a conflict here personally, although I am more inclined to believe my list since for me at least Zeno is a little harder to find than Eudoxia (plus on the Dirty Old Coins rarity scale, for AE, Eudoxia is a 3 while Zeno is 5, out of a scale of 9, with 9 being extremely rare). Not trying to disprove your list steve, just want to show what I found. Edited by VisigothKing

I am a little confused,  a normal condtion for me I think. You have Maximus (Caesar) as 121 and Maximus as 179. Are these the same Emperor? My Maximus is a Sestertius with an obverse legend that reads: MAXIMVS CAES GERM. Is this Maximus (Caesar) or Maximus? |

Yours is Maximus (Caesar) JW - the second was a usurper a few centuries later.

NOTE => If somebody really wants to be anal, they could average the two tables to find an overall rating which would be utilizing both databases ... get it?
Example:
ERIC II's Table lists:
1 - Constantine I
2 - Gordian III
Jango's Table lists
1 - Constatine I
31 - Gordian III
So a more robust average would yield:
1 - Constantine I
16.5 - Gordian III (where 16.5 = (2+31)/2)

By the way => the sample used in ERIC II's analysis was gathered from ebay (204,454 coins) and auction (28,602 coins) |

Bing ... if I made a list, it would probably look a bit more like the following: stevex6's Rarity List (in ascending order, from most common to rarest):1 - the brownish ones that are quite hard to read 2 - the brownish ones with a face and a stickman drawing 3 - the greenish ones that still need some toothpick attention 4 - the silvery ones that kinda look like wierd dimes 5 - the really cool, big green ones 6 - the ones in other people's collections |
