yes, coins have several different "standard numbers" much like Roman helmets. The Sear books are one way of identifying a coin, the British Museum catalog is another, and there are a couple more. The reason you usually have to charge to identify coins is two-fold, first it takes time, and second, the reference books are expensive! I spent more on coin reference books than on Robinson's Roman armour books and the Bishop/Coulson Roman armour book combined, and still need a few more to have a good set of reference books!<br>
I am glad you got a coin that was identifiable! I am currently looking for coins that show military standards on the reverse. Most of the ones I have have the reverse as a biga or chariot. Another amusement of mine is finding M. Antonius "legionary" denari in enough decent shape that you can tell which legion it was minted for!<br>
