<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4114476, member: 19463"]Michael Kelly came and went more than once. When he dropped out of the hobby in 1997, the Spink catalog for his collection (sale 123) is what I believe is a 'must have' reference. I bought 9 lots (17 coins) and have no intention of selling any of them while I live. His collection then included many coins that were not Eastern denarii but he had enough of them to make the sale very appealing. That sale had no Flavian Eastern coins but fit my Severan interests perfectly. I assume his second appearance in the hobby explains the Flavians. Does anyone have that catalog reference?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to know why the one mint used three or more marks. Perhaps it was a mobile operation which transferred older obverse dies when moved? I have no Flavian Kelly but do have this beat up Domitian EPE from CNG in 1994. Their photo did not show all the marks. This points to a difference between then and now with our enlarged images that show everything. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1067575[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
