<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2497723, member: 19463&quot;]While Victor is right as far as we can tell, my point is that the description is defective to the point that I&#039;d like to see photos of many other coins.&nbsp; Unfortunately it is harder to find Diocletians worth under $50 than it is to find rarities that sell for many times that.&nbsp; Lets research it on Coin Project where we find one coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=286963" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=286963" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=286963</a></p><p>Jupiter standing right, right foot drawn bak in act to throw thunderbolt; eagle at foot to left&nbsp; RIC V/II 168 var</p><p><br /></p><p>That is a CNG coin so lets see their listing:</p><p>&quot;Jupiter standing facing, head right, preparing to hurl thunderbolt; at feet to left, eagle standing left, head right; XXIΔ. RIC V 168 var.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice the person who uploaded it to Coin Project merged the CNG description with the RIC listing for 168 &quot;right foot drawn bak (sic)&quot; but left the 168 RIC number.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Victor says 167.&nbsp; CNG says 168 VAR.&nbsp; I say we need someone to show us a few RIC 167 coins to see if there is a boring standing there type without the throwing action.&nbsp; I also said you should not rely on RIC just before I said you should not be using ERIC if you want RIC numbers.&nbsp; What I&#039;m really saying is you should leave the coin in your will to someone who would love it even if he didn&#039;t know the RIC number.&nbsp; Hmmmm, who might that be????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
