<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2604944, member: 74968&quot;]The coin I have spent the most time on is the Galba below. It was&nbsp; difficult task to find other examples of this coin online that were properly attributed.In the end I found 2, one from the BMC and one from the Berlin collection. The attribution on WildWinds was incorrect (it has since been fixed). My actual coin which is RIC 193 was listed under RIC 191. The photo was of my coin before I bought it. The key difference between them is the direction of the reverse legend. There are other coins which are very close to mine with subtle differences. Tracking down these variants and finding the appropriate references was very much a fun process. In the end I confirmed the attribution that came with the coin (a purchase from FAC), and learned a lot about similar coins. This coin was not my most expensive but it is one of my rarest coins. There are no examples on acsearch, coin archives or CNG.&nbsp; It is definitely the one that provoked the most research.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]569220[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
