<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2154765, member: 19463"]Your coin is Rome mint but I am away from home and can not look it up. It is not good to try to find a close match and copy that RIC number without actually looking up the coin in the book itself. Many dealers copy ID numbers with little care so I can not comment on the 40/4 without having the book in hand. I really suggest that collectors and dealers who feel the need to use a catalog number buy the book or get over having the number. Before anyone buys a set, I recommend reading two of my pages on the books:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/book.html#ric" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/book.html#ric" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/book.html#ric</a></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/idric.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/idric.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/idric.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have no doubt you will ignore my warnings (everyone wants an easy answer) but don't complain when you find errors and confusions based on not understanding these great resources.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
