<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4653092, member: 110350&quot;]Regarding Crawford 442 (Acilius Glabrio) and 453 (Plautius Plancus), the links for both in Prof. Yarrow&#039;s latest blog post (see above), which are supposed to take you to Binder 9, go instead to Binder 6.&nbsp; Hopefully that will be easy enough to fix; I&#039;ve already written her about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>While looking through the pages for both coins in Binder 9, I came across a couple of images with red backgrounds, but with different dealer names from the ROMAN/RONAN notations on the photos of my Sulpicius Galba coin, sold in 2001. (See discussion above in this thread.) Perhaps these images could be relevant in some way to determining the identity of the dealer who sold my coin?&nbsp; Or, more likely, they could be entirely different dealers and the use of red backgrounds is just a coincidence!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148923[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148924[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>(Unfortunately, I think Mr. Schaefer uses way too many ligatures in his notations to make them easy to read.&nbsp; That&#039;s what happens when one spends so many years looking at Republican coins, I guess!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Entirely separately, I believe I may have found a couple of double die-matches to my own example of the Plautius Plancus denarius (Crawford 453/1a, the subtype with snakes at the sides of Medusa&#039;s face) -- but, unfortunately, I once again can&#039;t decipher the notations that would identify the dealers of the two coins that I believe match mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, here&#039;s my coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148925[/ATTACH] </p><p>With a close-up of the obverse:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148926[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And here are the two coins that I think may be double die-matches, from Schaefer Binder 9, p. 185-0, apparently labeled as die XXVI:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148927[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Do people agree that these are die matches?&nbsp; Interestingly, although the first one clearly isn&#039;t the same coin as mine, there&#039;s a banker&#039;s mark to the left of Medusa&#039;s mouth on the obverse -- in exactly the same place as the multiple banker&#039;s marks on the obverse of my coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve already written to Prof. Yarrow to ask her, but does anyone here have any idea who the dealers of these two coins might have been?&nbsp; I don&#039;t see anything in the preliminary finder&#039;s aid that might help identify them from the notations on the images.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
