[QUOTE="TTerrier, post: 2424747, member: 76835"]Hi everyone, I've lurked on this site for a while and really enjoy reading the topics and seeing pictures of the great coins everyone has. I have some potin tetradrachms I am trying to ID - once I ID some I will post some pictures. I have Milne and have a question about how to assign ID numbers - unfortunately I think you need the book in hand to answer this question. Taking Diocletian as an example, coins 4946 to 4966 all appear to be the same type with some variations in weight and size - is there some distinction I am missing or did Milne list all these coins simply because he had that many of that type in his collection? If these are all the same type is there some protocol in picking which Milne number you would use to ID your coin? Maybe the one closest in weight and size (which will be somewhat arbitrary given that diameters and weights don't always move in lockstep). Thanks for your help![/QUOTE]
