Re: Maximus I Thrax RIC IV 2.8gr, 20mm NEW GRADES. Monetary value??

Good afternoon all! Just recieved these back from NGC. Any opinions on value? I've been searching for Maximinus 1, year 4. Can't seem to locate him at auction?

​Good morning, brinnpirate. Nice coins. I am looking at the Maximinus I 'The Thracian' Denarius - with emperor between 2 standards. The site below - for Year 4 - says

"This issue is very small. Maximinus lost control of the Rome mint when the Gordians were proclaimed emperors at Rome in the beginning of April, 238. BMC suggests the mint had been preparing even before that by not issuing many coins in the name of Maximinus in 238.

Maximinus was literally a giant, said to be the tallest and strongest man in the empire. The medical condition of giantism is sometimes associated with large chins, so this "late style" portrait is most likely very realistic.

Note for collectors: All three portrait styles are very available and common, although the early style is a bit less common. All three are frequently found well-struck and in high grade. There are, to be sure, rare reverse types, but if what you want is one portrait of each type, it should be easy to find examples without any price premium."

​Thank you Alex! I found this on the internet as well! I guess value will depend on demand, like any other coin! Pete
