<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8228651, member: 26430&quot;]Many thanks for the additional background, Bob! Not knowing the literature yet I suppose I wouldn&#039;t be in a position to fault anyone for being conservative about what counts as &quot;attested&quot; enough, but it sounds like a good thing you&#039;ve helped bring more attention to these coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite collecting areas is &quot;the modern history of classical numismatics,&quot; especially networks of collections/collectors, and how collections, both private and public, shape the scholarship (and vice versa). These fractions open a great window onto those topics.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my first glance I think I found about a dozen examples (though I may not have ruled out all duplicates yet across ACSearch, Forum gallery, the various Parthia coin websites, etc.), and I&#039;m sure more are readily found online. Even if I get no further (though I have a few preliminary thoughts about the dies), it may be useful to share online the small corpus of all the examples I can find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
