<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1819586, member: 19463&quot;]I am away from my books right now so I can&#039;t look it up but Sear rarely lists minor differences separately.&nbsp; Users have to decide how close to the exact description in Sear a coin must be before changing the attribution to &quot;Sear 2496 variety&quot;.&nbsp; The fact is that an in depth study of these coins might separate out a hundred variations on most of the coins he lists singly but we should not expect any breakdown at all on any but the most popular types.&nbsp; IMHO Sear did a rather good job selecting what to include and what to omit to make his Greek books useful but not ridiculous or so expensive no one would buy them.&nbsp; Look how we on this list advise new collectors to buy the old one volume Sear Roman book rather than the Millennium edition set which is obviously at least five times the number of pages, number of listings and number of dollars. </p><p><br /></p><p>Search acsearch for these and see the recently offered lots (2 with 75 coins, one with 20).&nbsp; I believe you used the word plentiful.&nbsp; If I were interested in these coins as a sub-specialty, I&#039;d get on the good side of Barry Murphy who is a very nice guy, very knowledgeable on most things numismatic and likely to be able to find you some spectacular examples of this coinage (for a price).&nbsp; When they are selling off EF&#039;s as large lots, you know there have to be a couple of really special coins out there.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mine is something of a dog at VF but, like yours, I believe it to be genuine.[ATTACH=full]298550[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
