<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7503722, member: 86498"]I would have to agree with both [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] as well as @curtisclay that the Woytek is by far the best reference currently available on the coins of Trajan. When I purchased the book some years ago I had something like 5 coins of Trajan that were variants of those listed in RIC. All 5 were in Woytek. Now I have to say that the book is in German thus if you cannot read German you can see what he thinks but not how he came to those conclusions. However as near as I can tell every variety is plated which makes it very handy. Furthermore he does give an idea of the number of specimens he has seen of each variety and in some cases list where they have been seen. Thus one can get some idea of the relative scarcity of each coin. </p><p>I currently have 3 coins plated and one other referred to in this book .
