<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2612541, member: 19463&quot;]RIC ID&#039;s do not change for the differences in workshops that produced matching coins.&nbsp; They will list a coin P for Prima or the first shop but users are expected to have understood that means the same number applies to other shops, in this case Quarta or shop 4.&nbsp; However, your coin does not read QXXT as it should to be RIC 151 but QXXI which is not listed that I can find in RIC but is mentioned as a variant in the text where the authors speculate the coin may belong to Siscia rather than Ticinum.&nbsp; My advice is to abandon RIC for this period and go to the online update site where the coin is shown in several examples as <font size="6">RIC temp #1527:</font></p><p><a href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1527?tempRIC=&amp;asmSelect0=&amp;Reign=Aurelianus&amp;asmSelect1=&amp;asmSelect2=&amp;asmSelect3=&amp;asmSelect4=&amp;asmSelect5=&amp;asmSelect6=&amp;asmSelect7=&amp;asmSelect8=&amp;asmSelect9=&amp;ReverseMark=%2A%2F%E2%80%93%2F%2FQXXI&amp;asmSelect10=&amp;asmSelect11=&amp;BustDescription=&amp;ReverseDescription=&amp;Note=&amp;Reference=&amp;page=1&amp;mod=result&amp;from=advanced" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1527?tempRIC=&amp;asmSelect0=&amp;Reign=Aurelianus&amp;asmSelect1=&amp;asmSelect2=&amp;asmSelect3=&amp;asmSelect4=&amp;asmSelect5=&amp;asmSelect6=&amp;asmSelect7=&amp;asmSelect8=&amp;asmSelect9=&amp;ReverseMark=%2A%2F%E2%80%93%2F%2FQXXI&amp;asmSelect10=&amp;asmSelect11=&amp;BustDescription=&amp;ReverseDescription=&amp;Note=&amp;Reference=&amp;page=1&amp;mod=result&amp;from=advanced" rel="nofollow">http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1527?tempRIC=&amp;asmSelect0=&amp;Reign=Aurelianus&amp;asmSelect1=&amp;asmSelect2=&amp;asmSelect3=&amp;asmSelect4=&amp;asmSelect5=&amp;asmSelect6=&amp;asmSelect7=&amp;asmSelect8=&amp;asmSelect9=&amp;ReverseMark=*/–//QXXI&amp;asmSelect10=&amp;asmSelect11=&amp;BustDescription=&amp;ReverseDescription=&amp;Note=&amp;Reference=&amp;page=1&amp;mod=result&amp;from=advanced</a></p><p><br /></p><p>or (if the short form works?)</p><p><a href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1527" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1527" rel="nofollow">http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1527</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that they have 19 of them listed suggests the lack of a RIC number does not indicate rarity but only confusion indicating why RIC volume V really is in need of the update.&nbsp; They give the reference:</p><p><br /></p><p>LV 4835-43&nbsp; from a work unknown to me:</p><p><i>Ripostiglio della Venèra. Nuovo Catalogo Illustrato</i>. J.-B. Giard, <i>volume I : Gordiano III-Quintillo</i> (Roma, 1995) S. Estiot, <i>volume II/1 : Aureliano</i> (Roma, 1995) S. Estiot, <i>volume II/2 : Tacito e Floriano</i> (Verona, 1987)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This stuff can require a bit more study than I have interest to support.&nbsp; I do not have an exact match. Mine is a Rome mint version which you are invited to try to find in the RIC temp site just for practice.&nbsp; Learning the workings of theeir search system will come in handy if you collect coins of this period but it may not seem easy at first.&nbsp; Enjoy the process.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]571819[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
