<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8270177, member: 110350&quot;]The book arrived today, and Plate 129 (although numbered as 129) is, in fact, an exact duplicate of Plate 128.&nbsp; The intended illustrations of coins nos. 1663-1670 are missing. I emailed Charles Davis about it, and he responded by saying that this is the first he&#039;s heard of the error, and that all of his copies -- he has two cases of the book -- contain the same error. He will contact Spink tomorrow to see if they have some work-around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Separately, I think I now understand why Nomos erroneously numbered my type in the auction catalog as &quot;1401d&quot; rather than simply 1401 (with head type A2): in the column directly to the right of the catalog numbers, in this case 1401, the next column says &quot;D.&quot; Which simply stands for &quot;Denarius&quot;! Some poor shmo must have thought the D was part of the catalog number, and nobody caught his or her mistake. Another lesson not to take an auction catalog&#039;s description on faith, no matter how reputable the house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
