<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24640196, member: 26430&quot;]Not a dumb question -- everybody has to ask sometime! It refers to Martin J Price&#039;s 2-volume work, <i>The Coinage in the Name of Alexander the Great and Philip Arrhidaeus,</i> published in 1991.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s pretty much the standard reference for all Alexander Drachms, Tetradrachms, Staters (and I guess other denominations too, but those are what I&#039;m usually looking at). There are some others (e.g., Troxell), but that&#039;s the primary. The numbers for Price are what PELLA uses (the ANS&#039; database), so you can know a Pella number by knowing the Price number and vice-versa.</p><p><br /></p><p>My latest coin of a type cataloged there is the Alexander Drachm below, which is a &quot;Price 2600.&quot; (Listed as <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10395628" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10395628" rel="nofollow">&quot;Pr-2600&quot; in the auction listing</a> but sometimes it&#039;ll just be &quot;P&quot; for price.) So I&#039;ve looked it up in the hard copy book, but can also look it up on PELLA: <a href="https://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.2600" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.2600" rel="nofollow">https://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.2600</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1567849[/ATTACH]</p><blockquote><p>SNG Lockett 1501 <a href="https://conservatoricoins.com/provenance-coins/part-i-western-greek-world/#Lockett-1501" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://conservatoricoins.com/provenance-coins/part-i-western-greek-world/#Lockett-1501" rel="nofollow">(this coin), ex Salton</a>.</p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
