[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7847068, member: 105571"]Some of the diagnostics are gone but this looks to me like the LM-3, an R-2 coin. Obverse is 3, Reverse is C. What I could see to attribute is below. Reverse Diag: Scroll begins under right edge of serif of T. Scroll ends under left edge of of left upright of M. D low and below E1 at base. T3 high at base. Obverse Diag: Right base of 1 close to 8. Upper loop of 8 close to 2. Neck of 2 not curved. Dentil centered below left edge of upright of 1. Left serif of 2 points to space between dentils. S1 and S7 three times closer to dentils. S8 and S13 twice as close to dentils. This is one of the "three pale gules" varieties but the shield is too worn to tell for sure. Nevertheless, the gules appear to be a little wider than the "two pale gules" variety which argues for the 3-gule variety. Interesting how the obverse is so much better preserved than the reverse.[/QUOTE]
