<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2583294, member: 19463"]One point to remember when studying the Anonymous series is that we can call the coin Class C and hope/expect it to remain that way while it is not out of reason to have someone do an extensive study of the series and make some adjustments on the dating based on new hoard and overstrike evidence. Nothing in numismatics is immune from new generations of scientists tweaking old studies but we still have it better than the people who study plants and animals and what they have done to 'Scientific' names as assigned by Linnaeus and other early taxonomists. Will your coin be attributed to Michael IV in another century? Maybe, but it should still be a Class C unless someone decides we need to separate C into C1 and C2 like they did with the A group. </p><p><br /></p><p>Are coins marked with a ruler name immune from this sort of tweaking? Ask students of Parthians marked Arsakos and English pennies marked Henry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
