Acquisition/Sale: $0.00 Notes: [I]Sep 19, 18[/I] - Photo courtesy of budgies-beak I had to go to Dane to identify this, it wasn't in her RIC lists or on Wildwinds. This is what she said.... You're right - I can't find it either. The odd thing is that there is no break in the obverse legend and the engraving is very well done. Now, seeing as the FL CL is missing, I wonder whether this is a very late issue from Constantinople. Or the die was engraved by what I call an exchange engraver who was used to doing this legend (engravers from Trier were often swapped with those from Lyons, for example, so this may be a Rome engraver sent to help out at Constantinople). The only ones in my Fel Temp xls list with this obv. legend and without an obv. break are Lyons 188 Lyons 192 Rome 284 Rome 284 Thessalonica 191 var (officina) Thessalonica 191 Very odd. I will add it to my xls list and also to wildwinds. I have since seen more on vcoins.[/QUOTE]
