<p>[QUOTE="Nathan P, post: 3588130, member: 99051"]Hey, thanks for all the information! I've order the Starr book. I think you're right that the single prong tail suggests it's not a Starr V. However, I think Leu's dates of 454-449 might be right based on all the other similar characteristics. If I'm not mistaken Starr V coins are supposed to be from 465-454? Then the mass issues begin in 449. So Joe over at Forum, for instance, puts these transitional - transitional coins in that 454-449 window. He has a few in this link that look very close to mine.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=66&pos=0&iop=50&sold=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=66&pos=0&iop=50&sold=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=66&pos=0&iop=50&sold=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW don't feel too bad for me<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I paid $660 or so all in and didn't buy it because I thought it was a Starr V (not knowing anything about Starr's book).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
