[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3790001, member: 85693"]A truly mind-boggling collection, Andrew. I just wanted to let you know that yesterday I spent hours going over your website (and this post) to identify four very low-grade Roman Republic asses I recently got off eBay (for $12, if that tells you anything). I thought about posting them here, but compared to your spectacular collection, it would be quite the buzz-kill. I'll wait for a less auspicious occasion to inflict them on the Coin Talk Community. But I wanted to thank you for all the hard work and thought you put into your collection and your site. Beyond adding extensively to the available stock of knowledge, it made attributing my cruddy little collection far easier than I could've hoped, and a lot of fun as well. Keep up the good work. P.S. Let me provide an example of how helpful your website was to me in my attribution efforts. One of my new ones is Crawford 180/1. On your site you had this bit, which was very, very helpful to me in my attribution efforts: "...RRC 180 SAX and RRC 173 C.SAX bronzes are prone to confusion...On SAX the deck structure is always raised and table-shaped. On C.SAX there is no raised deck structure, instead the line of the deck is interrupted by two dots, symbolising the deck structure."[/QUOTE]
