<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 789707, member: 1876&quot;]Very nice coins, Doug</p><p><br /></p><p>I have Mitchner&#039;s both works NIS and ACW and the information in both references are almost same. In fact I also have his 9 volume series on &quot;Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian coins&quot; and in last volumn has information about few hoard finds of bull and horseman coins. Here also it&#039;s pretty much the same details as in other two references.</p><p><br /></p><p>For this series, Robert Tye&#039;s book is definitely a standard and covers the series in many details. I would highly recommend this book for anybody interested in this series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before Tye&#039;s work was published, there was another very good reference available for this series. Its title is &#039;Living without Silver&#039; by John Deyell. It&#039;s little outdated work in terms of types/varieties reported but a very good book on history and how these coins were used in day to day business in those days. Indeed, a very interesting book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your second coin is Tye #6.2 (a sub-variety identified by three dots between horse&#039;s front legs).</p><p><br /></p><p>Your third coins is Type #14.2 (a sub-variety identified by shape of trident symbol on bull&#039;s back).</p><p><br /></p><p>Your fourth coin is also Tye #14 or #14.2 based on trident&#039;s shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
