<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7831354, member: 97383&quot;]Donna, Thanks for the photo comparison of different types <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. With these enlarged photos it&#039;s easy to see the distinctive types <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I&#039;m really surprised collectors would categorize these as different types considering the differences are so slight, but the same thing is being done with one of my specialties, Roman silver provincial coins. With the Roman silver coins of the Eastern Mediterranean region this is an even more daunting task, especially when you consider the enormous output of mints like Antioch &amp; Tyre. Numismatic authors like Richard McAlee &amp; the late Michel Prieur gave an impressive start to this project but much more needs to be done. As more collectors get involved with ancient coins&nbsp; more varieties will be recognized. I often ponder at what&#039;s been done with American coins. There are tens of thousands of different varieties for coins minted for the short time span of only 230 years <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
