Ah I see thank you for telling me that the below or in front of
horse type is shown together as one spot in the book. It is sad that the 1926 book has not been updated yet, so this is the best I can get for
Trajan's coinage. I have the
Trajan coin book that is in
German, but it doesn't tell much other than offer nice
bust types and
reverse type images. I am assuming when you mean the soldier on the
reverse that you believe it to be not
Trajan on horseback, but rather
Tiberius Claudius Maximus? Also referring to the frequency of the coin; you seem to have ignored my last post as I stated I know that it is usually irrelevant and especially outdated, but I
still wanted to know what they thought it was. I didn't care if it is inaccurate or not. Also about me guessing that the below
horse types were rarer than the in front of
horse types is because from
Woytek's 2010 book he has also specified more die
types for the in front of
horse type rather than the below
horse type which is a much more recently published book. I have also personally seen more of that
type for sale in
auctions and on websites, so that is my reasoning why I believe it to seem to be more
rare than the other
reverse type in my opinion. Also about that somewhat insulting response to me not owning any books on
Trajan's coins is that sadly there hardly are any up to date books on
Trajan's coinage and I have been reading up about
his coinage for quite a while now before I even ended up
buying a coin, so please don't assume I have no knowledge on
his coinage despite owning none of
his books. Most of
his books I have
had the privilege to rent and look at sometimes. Anyways thank you for trying to
help despite the condescending attitude accompanied with it. I
hope you have a great evening.
