<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moe &quot;Wolfy&quot; Wilder, post: 8314016, member: 114824&quot;]I was trying to pin down the RIC number for a Gloria Romanorum from Valens. I have read the book a few times but can&#039;t figure out the difference(s) between RIC IX 16b, 26b and 31! The exergue of my coin is TES, there&#039;s an A on the left and a Chi-Rho on the right, so mintmark variety xix, but how does one know if it was issued during 1st (16b), 2nd (26b) or 3rd (31) period. I feel like I&#039;m missing a key piece of info. Cohen apparently didn&#039;t see enough of a difference and lumped them together under &quot;C.11&quot;. I looked at Wildwinds which shows 2 or more mintmark varieties for each &quot;period&quot;, (though none match my mintmark), and I still don&#039;t see how to distinguish between the three.&nbsp; I know ya&#039;ll like to see pics, but in this case, it hardly seems necessary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
