<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnnyC, post: 4635681, member: 101968&quot;]According to Carbone and Yarrow in the ANS Journal 2019 Issue.3:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;“Schaefer’s meticulous notations on each clipping record the image source, as well as any and all information in the source such as weight, axis, diameter, and his assigned die identifier (a number or a letter) (figs. 8–9).”</p><p><br /></p><p>However just where we can find this information remains unclear (to me at any rate).</p><p><br /></p><p>But anyway, the aim of the Die Project was not primarily to record provenances but to detail as many known republican coins as possible with the aim of estimating die numbers for the different types, and hence estimating coinage volumes for the various issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Schaefer binders now available are only the raw material for this enterprise, and so far it seems only a few coin types have been analysed in detail, so we must await further studies.</p><p><br /></p><p>As it happens I’ve done a few studies of my own on certain republican denarii where all the dies are individually numbered, as with the well-known Crepusius types, with the aim of testing various formulae for estimating die numbers.
