<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 5142093, member: 28550&quot;]Thanks for the move. I forgot we even had an Ancients forum, as little as I have reason to peruse it. My scale isn&#039;t accurate enough to get fractions of a gram. Will see if any of the digital pocket scales I have in storage are more accurate. It seems that the Solidus, Semissis, and Tremissis are about the same diameter and are primarily differentiated by thickness/weight - is that right? There&#039;s a whole extra learning curve on Roman/Byzantine denominations, I&#039;m finding, so I&#039;m trying to work with the previous owner&#039;s labels as a starting point and then searching recent auctions for appraisal purposes. </p><p><br /></p><p>On a related note, some of the coins in this (almost illegibly labeled) lot have what appear to be Seaby numbers? As in &quot;Seaby #2260&quot; on a Maximus I coin that might be a Sesterce (reverse Rx Providentia). (picture to follow - my phone is charging and I&#039;m working from my laptop right now) Is this a reference catalog that anyone is familiar with? Or is it a reference number Sears uses?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
