<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 4195622, member: 56859&quot;]This was the perfect occasion to try out a recent book splurge purchased from Warren Esty ([USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER]):&nbsp; <b>Numismata Graeca:&nbsp; Greek Coin-Types Classified for Immediate Identification</b> by L. Anson, 1910-1916.&nbsp; I think mine is a Forni reprint.&nbsp; It&#039;s a 2 volume set; Vol. I is the usual style of written catalog and Vol. II are plates.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s arranged by subject matter:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1076847[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of jumping straight to the plates I tried the written catalog, part II.&nbsp; There are 18 or so pages and fortunately I found a match on the first of those pages.&nbsp; Looks like you have it right:&nbsp; Pisidia, Selge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the entry:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1076848[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And the plate:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1076853[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm, there isn&#039;t a table or explanation of the size and weight units or conversion.&nbsp; Weight is in grains, perhaps?&nbsp; Not sure what to make of the numbers and units for size and my older books which contain such tables are in storage.&nbsp; With a little digging I&#039;m sure we can find the info online.</p><p><br /></p><p>This book is available free online in various locations.&nbsp; Perhaps I should have just used that rather than shelling out considerable money for a book... but it sure is nice to flip through a book![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
