<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 5283542, member: 110350&quot;]I&#039;m not sure that saying &quot;Ex.&quot; the Schaefer Die Study is really the correct way to cite a die match, or your actual coin, when you find it at CRRO. After all, Schaefer didn&#039;t actually own these coins himself. He simply saved images of all the examples of different dies of particular Roman Republic coins that he found for sale, either in auction catalogs or for direct sale on the Internet. You should be able to find on the specific image that you&#039;ve matched with your coin a coded notation (often difficult to decipher) of the name and date of the auction or sale where he found it. What I usually do instead of &quot;Ex.&quot; is to mention at the end of my description of the coin either that a die match to my coin, or my actual coin, is listed in the RRDP at such and such a page, with the link. When it&#039;s my actual coin, I also say &quot;Ex&quot; the name of the seller and date of the sale, if I&#039;m able to decipher the code.&nbsp; Just to be clear, is what you found a double die match or your actual coin? Can you decipher what it says about where Schaefer found the image?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
