<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2477562, member: 19463&quot;]You know I am driven by pet peeves including the one against using catalog numbers not checked in the catalog quoted.&nbsp; Rosen was a great collection published by the ANS in 1983.&nbsp; Rosen 522 is the closest Rosen had to these coins but his specimen had a satyr head minor type where Bing&#039;s coin has a star over the lion and mine has the backwards K.&nbsp; There are many variations and I do not own a book on them.&nbsp; Since your pigs face opposite directions, I doubt the BMC would match either.&nbsp; My coin has an oval flan so there is not a trace of tunny but may have had one.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]522474[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I love the catalog of the Rosen collection.&nbsp; It has 770 Greek coins including the large and popular ones that populate high end collections with regularity but also having a good spread of small denominations even sub-obol size.&nbsp; There are many old collection catalogs with more big coins but none that show a better overview of the subject in so few coins. Dewing and Pozzi each had 2000 more coins but nothing like the Rosen minor silver.&nbsp; I have to wonder why Rosen only had that one Kyzikos but the one he had was a type (with Satyr head) I certainly would love to own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
