<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2212940, member: 19463&quot;]This is one you need to ask someone better schooled in these than I.&nbsp; RIC 52 is R5.&nbsp; RIC 53 is exactly the same coin except the bust is cuirassed rather than 52&#039;s draped and cuirassed.&nbsp; RIC 53 is C2.&nbsp; Does your have the drapery?&nbsp; I don&#039;t see drapery.&nbsp; What I see is a nice looking coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not own a draped and cuirassed Lyons coin to show but here is a Rome example. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]432476[/ATTACH] </p><p>You see the drapery but the shoulder epaulet (4 ridges joined by an arc over) of the cuirass sticks out under the folds.&nbsp; Can you find someone who would appreciate the difference AND believe yours is the R5 version?&nbsp; How much extra would you pay for coin special by this difference even if yours had it?&nbsp; If anyone can find a certain RIC 52, please post it here so we all can learn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
