<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8318041, member: 110350&quot;]The numbering system for the Republican coins in Volume I of Seaby&#039;s multi-volume &quot;Roman Silver Coins&quot; (known as RSC) is derived from Babelon -- just as the Imperial coin numbering system is derived from Cohen -- and has been cited more often than Babelon since the 1950s. It&#039;s not unprecedented, though, for some dealers to have continued to cite Babelon. Even today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since your envelope appears to come from a fixed-price coin dealer, searching for the same specimen in auction catalogs will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I suggest you look first in acsearch or the cng archives, both of which go back about 20 years (although the latter is limited to coins sold via cng itself). Do a search for the words didrachm or quadrigatus, along with the Crawford number.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
