<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2629459, member: 56859&quot;]Having coins which appear in print books is definitely satisfying <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t have any (that I know of) until Naville started selling some ex-Dattari coins of Roman Egypt.&nbsp; Another round of these was yesterday.&nbsp; I bid on seventeen and came away with one, a rather unremarkable, worn, and relatively common coin but at least the price was good.&nbsp; I bid very aggressively on a few and was the underbidder.&nbsp; On the rest I wasn&#039;t even close to being the immediate underbidder. The hammers for most of yesterday&#039;s Dattari lots seemed very high considering the condition of most lots. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway... now I have six coins which are plate coins.&nbsp; All appear in the Savio compilation of Dattari coins and one also appears in the original Dattari book.&nbsp; Some are in virtual plates such as RPC online. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/tiberiusobolhippo-dattaricollection-rt-jpg.553274/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/#post-2565149" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/#post-2565149">Tiberius obol, year 5; /hippo</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/dattari-marcusaureliusuraeusdiobol-rt-jpg.554499/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/page-2#post-2566623" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/page-2#post-2566623">Marcus Aurelius diobol, year 12; /uraeus</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/dattari-a-pi-falcon-rt-jpg.554559/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/page-2#post-2566712" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/page-2#post-2566712">Antoninus Pius obol, year 19; /Horus falcon (or hawk)</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/domitianisisdiobol-dattari-rt-jpg.567830/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Domitian diobol, year 9; /bust of Isis</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/a-pi-griffin-obol-dattari-jpg.567831/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Antoninus Pius obol, year 11; /griffin</p><p><br /></p><p>Not yet in hand:&nbsp; Antoninus Pius diobol, year 2; /bust of Zeus Ammon</p><p><br /></p><p>EDITED TO ADD:</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I&#039;ll have a few more plate coins when Emmett&#039;s next book is published and I might also have a coin in the next volume of MFB coinage from [USER=78411]@Nicholas Molinari[/USER] <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
