    Really this is not bad for these late ones. The obverse legend was simplified the year before to just Maximinoc followed by CEB. Yours is clar on most letters except, perhaps the Xi which usually looks something between an equal sign and a backwards Z.

    Thanks Doug. I looked at Maximianus, but didn't see it. Yeah, these are common enough. I was able to get this one and a Diocletian, year 4, Athena reverse (another common coin), both for $16.
