This is an AR Antoninianus

I have a couple of questions, maybe I can get some help.
What is this officina?

IV? III? not so sure. Sorry.

What mint and era?

 

Isn't the Officina the MM?
Years are 251-253.

 

Officina is separate from mint, if my understanding is correct.

Usually the mint is on the bottom at the exergue, officina is to the left or right of the design.

I'd look at Forum Ancient Coins but I don't have time

 

Yeah I am still looking didn't find a match on Forum. I am looking at wildwinds right now.

 

I believe that this is a liberty cap in right hand and upside down scepter in the left.

 

..well heck, show us the coin man.... (not that i could be of any help on your quest but....)

 

I know I know! lol
I would like to identify the reverse myself. And haven't captured the glorified photos yet.

 

I found the match, I was looking at AR, Antoninianus, this is a silvered ANT, heavy but still silvered.
This is officina lV, Antioch. And a purse in the right hand and cornucopia in the left.

 

Gonna try to get some good photos and start a new thread.
