Message:: [QUOTE="Limes, post: 4596776, member: 101013"]I did some browsing in the Sear book. He interestingly notes: "RIC attributes all the regular precious metal issues of his reign to the mint of Rome, while CBN prefers to assign them to Lugdunum. The latter attribution has been adopted in this catalogue." Why, I wonder... I must add that searching on ACSEARCH does not always deliver a accurate list of right coins, and it depends on what texts auctioneers used in their attributions: I used the terms "RIC 10 claudius denarius nemesis", and got 20 hits. Leave out nemesis, and one gets 148 hits. Add pax, and one gets 14. I ofcourse do not know how much you paid, but take note that even though Van Meter states it's 'abundancy', he values the coin 'VB4': somewhere between 1000 and 3000 dollars (kr. 9.697,24 - kr. 29.092). It doesn't matter, of course. What matters is that you believe it's worth what you paid for <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Agreed, Sear is by no means a complete reference book, and not intended as such. Most types are listed, but not the differences in, e.g., legends.[/QUOTE]
