Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 02/03/2010 5:30 pm Yep. It was known as "Arelatum" in it's Roman days, but it's the mintmark of Arles, now in France. "Q" is short for the Latin ordinal number "quartus", meaning "fourth". This coin was struck in the fourth "officina", or branch mint-office, in the city of Arles. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 02/03/2010 5:39 pm And you asked about value... sorry. The latest edition of the Sear catalogue (which would have these coins in it) hasn't quite been released yet, so all I can give you are some Wildwinds examples. This one sold on vauctions for $21, and this one sold for $32.50. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
TokenDave Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 02/08/2010 05:07 am Sap's response reminded me: Does anyone have an update on the projected arrival of the next Sear catalog (Volume IV, I believe)? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 02/08/2010 07:06 am David Sear's website says "Spring 2010". I assume that's Northern Hemisphere Spring, so Volume IV should be only a few months away; he's now accepting pre-orders. Unfortunately, I see by that website that it won't conclude the Millennium Edition, as I had been hoping; there will still be a Volume V to come "about 12-18 months later". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
