[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 3302003, member: 75525"]I agree. Interesting posts on how to ID an ancient coin. I suppose this is not a lot different than VAM # for US silver $. I have several books on RR coins (10+) and try to check numbers before posting them with a coin description. I collect several minute details on coins (plumb bobs, anchors & scales).
