<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1851854, member: 19463"]Thanks. I hope all who might care get some good out of seeing these sample pages. Note how many coins come in several legend spacings as well as several minor variations in the legend itself. As I mentioned, I only have one Philip in hand and a second enroute. My year 4 is Elpis left as in 3650 through 3653 but my coin lacks both the E and the B in EVCEB so the obverse legend pages must continue on the next page defining C3 and C4. Again, I'm too general a collector to need all the versions but this does show the need actually to own the book if you are going to ID coins properly. To me the value of such a listing is pointing out what was issued rather than telling me whether I have a 3652 0r 3653. I wonder if I am correct that these variations are just examples of running out of room (failure to plan ahead) or if there was some meaning to the different variations (like team one used legend C1 and team 2 used C2 etc.???). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]309542[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
