<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1791080, member: 19463&quot;]I do not have RIC for this period preferring BMCRE which lists your coin as BMC388.&nbsp; Considering they only have one front facing bird, I suspect it may be the more scarce type.&nbsp; They did not illustrate theirs but did several other variations on the bird series making me wonder if theirs might be a dog.&nbsp; Heritage sold one&nbsp; for $300 on a $600-800 estimate.</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=77033" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=77033" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=77033</a></p><p>That is absurdly low unless there is something wrong here.&nbsp; Usually big sales have a minimum over half their estimate making me again suspicious of this result as reported.&nbsp;&nbsp; A less common version of a popular emperor in good shape should bring over half estimate.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rauch did better:</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=114699" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=114699" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=114699</a></p><p>I see listings of two distinctly different coins both called RIC 654 on acsearch so we need to see the book to ID yours correctly.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wonder if our any of us has access to Banti for these.&nbsp; I would be interested in hearing the count provided there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
