<p>[QUOTE="TJC, post: 4718153, member: 45502"]Hi fellow CT members. I have a Macrinus provincial that is marked as being the Varbanov "plate coin". I do not have copy of Varbanov but saw in another thread that Zumbly has a copy. I reached out to Zumbly to get his opinion. Zumbly was very kind sent me a picture of the Varbanov reference. We agreed that on first glance they look like a match. But, there are a couple of things like a die crack that is unaccounted for in the Varbanov pic. Since replying last to Zumbly I rediscovered that my coin is "the coin" listed in Wildwinds and that in the "text" on Wildwinds it is listed as the plate coin in Varbanov. I also discovered I still have a copy of the dealers photo. I know that just because something is listed in Wildwinds does not make it true. This is not a complaint against Wildwinds; I like respect Wildwinds very much.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Just trying to confirm or deny that my coin is or isn't the plate coin.</p><p>So...I am looking for your opinions.
