Hi
Robert,
Thanks so much for the comments. I will look at all three again. On the one with possibly two crossbars, I did consider this and it seems like the higher the magnification (I have a microscope and also a magnifying
glass), it looked to me more and more like an artifact rather than a crossbar, plus I couldn't see any connection between the top
bar and the rest of the
anchor. This is from memory and I will for sure give it another look. To me, the photo looks more like two crossbars than in hand, but all your comments have
merit. I do find
identification of some of these quite difficult. I have one I haven't posted yet that I just couldn't get past the top level, so
coded it 16.1 instead of 16.1.X.X.
The one with the upward versus horizontal tufts I also spent a lot of time on and will relook this one, as well. Again, your comment has real
merit. The third one with the
bust, I don't recall as well, that one was identified by the seller and I accepted it after looking at the book, but will revisit. The other two I
had no van't Haalf numbers to start with and I am trying to use VH for all of my Elymean coins as
Sear Greek Imperial is pretty flaky with some of these and those are the only two references I have in hand.
Thanks so much for your thoughts on these, I didn't realize how useful having a
gallery could be to me in terms of correcting attributions.
Regards,
Virgil
