Thank you! One thing I'm finding that drives me a
bit crazy is the minor things that can be different for coins under the same reference number. Seeing things like " can be 5 to 8 rows" under one reference number made me want to
flip a table. I'm a perfectionist for the details, and I'm learning that's
good, but not
always the greatest thing with 1500+ year old coinage.
Got to give the ancients a little flexibility... like with their rows on
camp gates.
Ahh, I'm glad I figured most of it out though. Thanks for the tip with the Excel sheet! I
had them sorted by
mint, which did
help me find all the
Arles mint entries, and did
help narrow it down. I think my vexation was trying to find an example of the few
RIC numbers it might've been (I recognize
RIC VII 290 as one of the ones I
had shortlisted) that
had five rows. The headache might have been more of the "I stare and
work with data all day at
work, I come
home, I stare at data all night looking for coin IDs" variety.
Anyways, thank you so much! I'll get Mr.
Camp Gate happily situated in my
gallery after dinner, and then on to the next ID challenge!
