[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2252996, member: 31620"]Topcat. If it is any consolation to you this type strikes me as the most mis-attributed coin type of Probus that I have seen over the years. Seeing a coin with Obv: IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG; Radiate bust left in imperial mantle Rev: SOLI INVICTO, Sol driving facing quadriga will result in a whole host of attributions even from experienced dealers, especially when there are no mintmarks present. The first match in RIC is RIC 101 from Lugdunum and this is what they are generally mis-attributed to. This happens to be a coin that I would like to get hold of ass it is scarce and in my collecting area but generally goes well out of my budget. There are a few coins on acsearch that illustrate this mis-attibution such as those below, none of which are RIC 101 but one of which is RIC 911.
