<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scarborough, post: 3432413, member: 93146&quot;]1.&nbsp; Thank you to forum members for your comments about whether my Aelius Homonoia hemidrachm was really part of the Dattari collection as listed in the original catalogue. (I remain doubtful.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; In the correspondence one member questioned the size and weight of my coin. When I checked I found I was mistaken. After making the correction I wanted to check to see how my coin fit into the series.&nbsp; Since I found the results interesting, I thought I’d share them with forum members.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; I used the acsearch.info database, where I searched for “Aelius Homonoia.” Since there were differences among dealers in describing the denomination, I extracted all of the Homonoia enthroned pieces. It wasn’t that hard; there are under 30 unique entries. My coin is at the end of the table. Here’s the list</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]911256[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wouldn’t it be great if every dealer included the size and axis of coins in their catalogues?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; My next step was to create a chart showing the distribution by weight. Although the sample size is small and there is one outlier, it does show two weight groupings</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]911257[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>5.&nbsp; Finally I created a table correlating size (horizontal axis) and weight (vertical axis).&nbsp; Interestingly the data seems to show that the hemidrachm has less variance than the drachm. But again, it’s a small sample.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]911267[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, many thanks to those who assisted with my original question; I hope you find this information interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>D[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
