    Yet again another coin I cant find and need some help on. It is Constantine with the mint from Heraclea it has for the mint mark (dot SMHB dot) . I have found the RIC numbers without the dot, with the dot first, and with the dot last but not with both dot before and after. Can anyone tell me the RIC number on this one please ?

    @Roman Collector thank you for the help! Does this have a Rare or Scarce rating for this one such as the R1 to R5 ?

    The B officina mint mark is "s." Most of the RIC scarcity ratings for officina do not reflect availability, however, in the marketplace.

    The rarity ratings in RIC VII relate to the officina letters. So a coin minted in 6 different workshops might be rated R1 or R2 for each different officina letter in the mint mark and still be common. Unless you are doing some kind of historical study, you're better off ignoring the rarity ratings in this volume.
