I love these coins: [ATTACH] MAXIMINUS II DAIA AE Follis OBVERSE: IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMINVS PF AVG, laureate head right REVERSE: GENI-O-AVGVSTI,...
As has been said before, you have to consider when RIC was published and how they took inventory. The rarity ratings of RIC have no validity in...

Putz!
