<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2424802, member: 76086&quot;]A timely post and questions as I have been attributing Alexandrian tetradrachms all day!&nbsp; You are correct, Milne was just listing the same type, but numerous examples with slight weight and diameter differences.&nbsp; When I encounter this I list the reference as Milne4946-66.&nbsp; Some will try to use a specific weight or diameter as the specific number, but I tend to ignore duplicate entries.&nbsp; This is common in reference books where a collection has many examples of the same coin but the entire collection is cataloged.&nbsp; Milne has always been my favorite reference for the series, though I may be in the minority.&nbsp; I dont always agree with some of the obverse inscription differences as with these coins the breaks between letters are not often noticeable (if at all).&nbsp; I have also become a fan of the simplified format of Alexandrian Coins by Keith Emmett.&nbsp; Its a great companion reference to Milne (though I wish it had more photos, which Milne also lacks in number).&nbsp; You can still get a new shrink wrapped copy of it from the publisher, Wayne Sayles:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/wayne_g_sayles_antiquarian/212/product/alexandrian_coins/652943/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/wayne_g_sayles_antiquarian/212/product/alexandrian_coins/652943/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/wayne_g_sayles_antiquarian/212/product/alexandrian_coins/652943/Default.aspx</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
