[QUOTE="stevex6, post: 1983687, member: 44183"][COLOR=#0000ff]Awesome addition, Daryl ... yah, I love those AE Roman Republic prow-coins!! (congrats) I have David Sear's "Roman Coins and Their Values, Volumn-I" and I found the reference that your seller included, but I am not 100% confident that your dude picked the correct description? Ref #901 states the following => S [B]above[/B] prow ... => however, your S is obviously "[B]before[/B]" the prow and would therefore be one of the many other choices within Sear's book (sadly Gil-g, this section of his book is filled with a few coin-sketches and then merely several other descriptions, but I don't have the skills to determine the exact Ref # of your cool new coin) ... ummm, but I do have an AE Semis example of my own to post ... [/COLOR] [ATTACH=full]353994[/ATTACH] [COLOR=#0000ff]NOTE => although your seller may have missed picking the exact Ref#, he did correctly estimate the time period associated with your coin ... by 91 BC the weight standard of these semis coins had been significantly reduced.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
