<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 5194010, member: 80783&quot;]RIC IV (1934) does not explain it´s rarity scale, but I know a total of 5 specimens of RIC 194. Apart from your Sestertius those are:</p><p><br /></p><p>Same pair of dies as yours:</p><p>1) in the KHM Vienna (RÖ 15918)</p><p>2) pictured in Banti (Nr.17, ex Gnecchi collection)</p><p>3) ex CGB.fr</p><p><br /></p><p>Another specimen from a different pair of dies:</p><p>4) British Museum (1993,0401.223, ex Waldeck and Clay collections)</p><p><br /></p><p>The next RIC volume to specify it´s rarity scale was RIC VII (1966), where &quot;R3&quot; meant &quot;4-6 coins known&quot;. So this would make your coin indeed &quot;R3&quot;! </p><p><br /></p><p>According to Sear´s price rating, this is in fact the most desirable Sestertius type of Macrinus. Congratulations![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
