<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2877931, member: 19463&quot;]I warn against your practice of quoting references like you know what they mean when in reality you have not seen that book and do not know if the place you got that number understood the matter either.&nbsp; I do not know exactly which variation of the Hieron II coin is shown in SNG COP 845.&nbsp; I only own two of the volumes:</p><p><a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ancient_numismatic_enterprise/9/product/sng_royal_collection_copenhagen_complete_set__43_parts_in_8_volumes__sylloge_nummorum_graecorum/36018/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ancient_numismatic_enterprise/9/product/sng_royal_collection_copenhagen_complete_set__43_parts_in_8_volumes__sylloge_nummorum_graecorum/36018/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ancient_numismatic_enterprise/9/product/sng_royal_collection_copenhagen_complete_set__43_parts_in_8_volumes__sylloge_nummorum_graecorum/36018/Default.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There is no such thing as a complete catalog of ancient coins.&nbsp; Some references make fine distinctions while others lump many together.&nbsp; This is roughly your coin:</p><p><a href="http://www.coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=316142" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=316142" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=316142</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is mine:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]689086[/ATTACH] </p><p>Some people will say &#039;same&#039; others will see a difference they consider significant.&nbsp; I&#039;d call it an AE19 of Syracuse under Hieron II with Poseidon / trident.&nbsp; Yours is quite decent compared to many.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
