I am the proud new owner of hand-me-down David
Sear books -
Roman Coins and Their Values 1-4. Wow -- it's like
Christmas! I have already found many of my coins thanks to the beginners tutorials on this site (many thanks), but I am feeling like the dumbest newbie ever. I am looking at the following coin listing in my book for a common
Constantine:
Q, b or C.
Rev. SOLI INVICTO COMITI...
Next entry:
P or Q, b or c.
Rev. - as previous...
Here's the question: I have searched the entire opening chapters of all the books and I'll be darned if I can find any hint at what these Q's P's b's or c's mean... I feel so stupid - it's like everyone gets it but me! I am happy to read up on this and learn for myself if some kind soul would just point me in the right direction - I have Googled ever
search string I can think of (including "alien language spoken only in
Sear books") to no avail. What are these letters that appear throughout the books? Any
help is appreciated!
