<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4638313, member: 110350&quot;]It looks like I found a match to one of my coins in the relevant Schaefer binder -- not just a double-die match, but, I&#039;m pretty sure, my actual coin. I&#039;m wondering if anyone can decipher the notation on the photo in the binder; I could email Liv Yarrow and let her know that the notation isn&#039;t in her preliminary finder&#039;s aid, but I really don&#039;t want to bother her unnecessarily.&nbsp; So I&#039;ll bother all of you instead!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic, C. Sulpicius C.f. Galba, AR Serrate Denarius, 106 BCE. Obv. Jugate heads of Dei Penates left, D•P•P [<i>Dei Penates Publici</i>]&nbsp; beneath heads / Rev. Two soldiers facing each other, holding spears and pointing at sow lying down between them; S above; in exergue: C•SVL•ICI•C•F. [<i>Indication of undertype on right of reverse, causing loss of detail.</i>]&nbsp; RSC I Sulpicia 1, Crawford 312/1, Sydenham 572, BMCRR Rome 1324, Sear RCV I 189 (ill.)&nbsp; 18.12 mm., 3.83 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1146447[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And here&#039;s the image from Schaefer Binder 2, p. 33-0 -- the last of 7 pages of photos of examples of Crawford 312/1, with all the examples he had of this coin with the control mark &quot;S&quot; on the reverse.&nbsp; I believe the photo of my coin is the top photo, with a red background, of the two images that Schaefer links to each other as die matches.&nbsp; If anyone doesn&#039;t agree that this is a photo of my coin, please let me know!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1146448[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m pretty sure that the first line of the notation says SEPT01, as in September 2001. Can anyone read the second line? I thought perhaps it said &quot;ROMA,&quot; but it doesn&#039;t really look like that to me, and I don&#039;t even know if Roma was around in 2001.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any help anyone can provide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
