[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3403344, member: 31533"]My second one I am posting. This is one of the folles I got this past year, that I posted in [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/vote-up-my-newps.319551/[/url] but with a picture taken today. [ATTACH=full]903651[/ATTACH] This one is coin 7. I wrote a bit that I learned about it, and for this one (new pics) I started looking at the Sear number (Sear 16517) that was on the 2X2. Although it closely looks similar to the one referenced by that number on WildWinds, in that the helmeted Roma has two braids or tassels (still not sure how to refer to those), the neckline and details are all wrong. And on the obverse, the she-wolf is perilously skinny with less teats than mine and the stars above are closer to the she-wolf and and to each other than the one given, as well as the SMH in exergue having no dot in the one given: [IMG]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/city_commemoratives/_heraclea_RIC_114.jpg[/IMG] This one is also listed as RIC 114. On the site department.monm.edu (which is for Monmouth College, in Monmouth, Illinois) it lists this similarly looking coin: [IMG]https://department.monm.edu/classics/COINS/data/id/constant/c104.jpg[/IMG] At least this one has a better neckline to match mine somewhat and the wolf doesn't look totally emaciated, it is also minted at SMH Epsilon, but it has no dot before the mint mark, the teats are different number and although the two stars are not as close to the she-wolf as mine are, they are looking kind of similarly made. Does anyone know what the real Sear number would be for this as well as the RIC number? I think that I will be looking for more of these City Commemoratives, particularly very striking ones. The variety of the ones I see are amazing.[/QUOTE]
