expat Posted February 28, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2023 There is a tetradrachm example I am interested in from Year 6 (290/1AD) and would like to know more about it. It has a ref Milne 4924 but that coin has LS in left field, (Wildwinds). The one I am looking at has S left field and L right field, otherwise virtually identical and also with the same Milne ref, so possibly a variety. Does anyone know of any resources I can use to find out more. Any help greatly appreciated 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Julius Posted March 1, 2023 · Member Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Here’s page 117 from Milne that answers your question. Milne 4924 and 4925 have LS left in different positions. Milne 4928 and 4930 have S - L but the L is oriented differently on each. Milne 4924 through 4930 are all variations of the same basic coin. Emmett lists all variations under the same number. Image below from Emmett showing 4045(6), the “1” listed for the coin under year 6 is the rarity rating… 1 being most common: …and just for fun because I like using my books… from Curtis coins 1978 and 1979, with a cross reference to BMC and completing the circle back to Milne!
