<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1724445, member: 19463&quot;]Thank you for posting the new crosses.&nbsp; It reminded me to check mine which remains in solitary after treatment for bronze disease last year and is, so far, clean.&nbsp; It may never go back into regular cases but will stay where I can check it every month at least.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Just to be sure we all understand your comparison to US Cents:&nbsp; I believe that the total number of Sogdian coins in the Western market is probably similar to the number of 1909S VDB cents.&nbsp; The number with crosses might be similar to the number of 1793 cents.&nbsp; Would you say that is exaggerating the matter?&nbsp; The value of your holdings would increase exponentially with the discovery of a text of a Gospel in a Sogdian language that dates to the time of your coins.&nbsp; Historical records of the era in that region are few (probably most of them are the coins themselves).&nbsp; Anything substantiating the crosses as Christian symbols would be nice.&nbsp; I had not seen one in the obverse field but my collection of such coins all will fit on my fingers without requiring the use of the palm of my hand. That is, however, more specimens than I have 1909S VDB (0).</p><p>[ATTACH]267883.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
