  3. Göbl looks a bit different. There are 130 pages of german text but the most important part are 52 handwritten tables. The unique thing about these tables is the possibility to find a MIR number for unpublished coins. Most of the tables are half empty with free spaces for coins which might exist. As soon as you translated the sometimes very special abbreviations you don't need German language knowledge for the tables any more.
  4. The filling height of only 3.3 mm might become a problem with the bigger coins.
  5. Cn. Lucretius Trio. AR Denarius, 136 BC, Rome Obv: TRIO, Helmeted head of Roma right; X (mark of value) below chin. Rev: CN LVCR / ROMA, The Dioscuri galloping right. Ag, 17.4x19.6mm, 3.87g Ref.: Crawford 237/1a.

  11. Yes it could be, but what is the reason of Ceres raising the hand. This is a gesture for emperors who greet the people. Ceres raising hand seems only to exist for Faustina I. On the type showed and also on RIC 382a. But again, is that really a hand? The hand on the roman coins can sometimes be quite large, but doesn't that look more like grain ears? Just my imagination. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1592806
  12. Nice write up, AGAIN ! Did Beckmann mention the type RIC 361a which is usually described as Ceres raising hand and holding torch.

  24. Yes, the collection of Frank Reinhardt (aka beachcomber) was so big that it is a good resource.
