    This coin weighs 8.6 grams and is about the same diameter as a dime. Why is the eagles head facing left? Most seem to be facing right. Any ideas on a RIC number? Thanks!!!

    Ken Dorney Yea, I'm Cool That Way...

    Just a quick look. I'm in the middle of cooking dinner. Looks like Claudius, not Valerian. Will advise later.

    Pretty sure Ken is correct, I see Claudius.
    Keep looking in Claudius you'll find it
