<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2328111, member: 42773&quot;]Well the new coin would be 581, right? With radiate, bare bust right. I would describe it as seen from behind, but RIC doesn&#039;t do that. Is that drapery, or just the border of the bust?</p><p><br /></p><p>I find RIC Vb incomplete and confusing to the point that I rarely look anything up in it. Why do they give a list of obverse inscriptions, as on p. 259, in which some inscriptions are numbered and others aren&#039;t??? 580 refers to obverse inscription 2, which is not what your first coin has. It has number 3 of the non-numbered inscriptions. And what does C. F. mean? Not to mention that 580 lists two busts, but not the one on your coin, which is radiate, <u>cuirassed</u> right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, very nice varieties, but you&#039;ll excuse me while I stoke the fire with RIC V.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
