expat Posted August 4, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2022 A coin I want to purchase has something in the dealers description which says (ACIP, missing). What does this mean and is it important? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Conduitt Posted August 4, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Is it in the references? It might mean the coin isn't in ACIP (Ancient Coinage of the Iberian Peninsula). Edited August 4, 2022 by John Conduitt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Conduitt Posted August 4, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yes so you'd expect this coin to be in ACIP, but it isn't. So it's perhaps an unusual variety. For comparison, this one is in ACIP https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/castellet_classical_numismatics/248/product/calco_tanit__carthaginian_occupation_ii_punic_war_218210_bc/1641270/Default.aspx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have e-mailed them to see if they know more than is briefly printed on the site 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
