<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4711830, member: 110350"]Thanks for looking. I simply didn't notice before I bought the coin that the obverse number wasn't CXXIII -- to the extent I thought about it at all, I thought that the rest of the number on the obverse after "C" was either illegible or off the flan. What I find most strange is that the <u>only</u> examples of CXXIII anyone appears to have recorded for Crawford 378/1 (whether on the obverse, the reverse, or both) -- namely my example, the one I found on acsearch, and the ones Crawford mentions as being held in Paris and by the British Museum -- are all the same hybrid combination of CXXIII on the reverse and CIIII on the obverse. Coincidence? I have no idea. Perhaps the Schaefer files, once they're released, will provide further examples. (By contrast, I found a number of examples with CIIII on both sides.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
