The OP coin strikes me as RIC 922 rather than 920 because it shows the emperor receiving a Victory rather than a globe.&nbsp; My three (E., H and ED) seem to share this.&nbsp; My second coin (B.) seems a 920 with the globe offering the footnote 2 (page 119) version with the eagle atop the scepter.&nbsp; RIC 922 lists 9 officina which is good since my ED is #9.&nbsp; Looking at the number of variations listed for these officina numbers gets really scary.&nbsp; My first coin has the reverse of RIC 920 but the obverse legend lacks PF as found in all of the others. That makes it an RIC 921 (right?). </p><p><br /></p><p>I am wholly unclear of what was in the brains of the guys who separated these coins into various RIC number groups and why some of the variations got a new number and some did not.&nbsp; I am also totally ignorant of scholarship since RIC was released in 1933.&nbsp; My H coin seems very different style from the others.&nbsp; Is it Antioch?&nbsp; There was a time I started to get interested in collecting Probus but soon decided that I was not comfortable paying for the series rarities and did not find the RIC listings convincing.&nbsp; What is the current standard reference?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
