<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scarborough, post: 4039876, member: 93146&quot;]1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I write to ask if someone with a volume of Vlasto (more properly O Ravel’s Descriptive Catalogue of the Collection of Tarentine Coins formed by M P Vlasto) will please look up or show us the image of coin number 755 to see if it shares the same dies as the nomos I’ve just purchased in CNG’s e460.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Here’s my coin</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.coinarchives.com/79c52cf3e70da86bface09c0294a0578/img/cng/e/460/image00043.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Calabria, Tarentum. c 280 – 272 BC.

I couldn&#039;t find it on the ANS site nor is it listed in Evans&#039;s Horsemen. That’s why there might be a chance of my coin sharing the same dies as the one from Vlasto’s collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Unfortunately I don’t have a copy of Ravel&#039;s book and cannot find it online.</p><p><br /></p><p>5.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; So I hope a CT member with access to the book can either compare my coin to the one in Vlasto’s collection, or show us a scan of this part of the plate from the book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your consideration.</p><p>D[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
