[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3123249, member: 44316"]This is true, but produces a problem for the collector who wants a really nice example--making it hard to illustrate how "trashy" they were if the example is too nice! Here are two attempts of mine: [ATTACH=full]795184[/ATTACH] 21 mm. 4.45 grams. Aurelian, struck Oct. - Nov. 270 at Siscia. CONCORDIA MILI, Concordia holding two standards Sear III 11518 variety. RIC 192 variety. Estiot -- cf. plate 22, 682-704, all of which are similar but all have officina letters and this example does not. [ATTACH=full]795185[/ATTACH] 19-18 mm. Aurelian. Struck early in his reign, pre-reform. DACIA FELIX, Dacia standing holding the staff with animal's head associated with Dacia, which is an ironic type since Dacia was lost in 275, not long after this coin was issued.[/QUOTE]
