<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2537885, member: 19463"]You have three different members of the dynasty and the Commemorative but the mintmarks I can read are all the same city but all four are different in details (dots, etc.). I'm not a proponent of beginners getting too enamored with minor details and catalog numbers until they are ready to understand why they may or may not want to study these coins in depth as opposed to a thousand other ways of collecting ancients. These are so common that I once did a page for use by school students working with uncleaned coins. Yours are what I called types 2 and 5:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/uncleaned.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/uncleaned.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/uncleaned.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The only reason I might question the price is whether you might have rather had more variation (fewer soldier reverses, more different mints). They are definitely worth the price. I hope your next purchase is as nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
