<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1511359, member: 5739&quot;]<b>Slightly more complicated question....</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Perfecto!!! Just the info I wanted/needed, I knew you guys were good but darn that&#039;s quick! Thank you so much my friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>-----------------------------------------</p><p>To make that question seem even less complicated I have another question about another coin, this of a Probus Ant.... Now I bought it very cheaply, it is in, well, not the best shape, but has a nice bust.... I was reading about this type and someone had a very similar coin and was toting it as being a &#039;RIC 49 Bust Type F&#039; Now I am fairly certain my coin of Probus is RIC 49, I have never heard of this &#039;Bust Type F&#039; or any other bust types for that matter... anyone have any insight... this would probably be best in a new thread since this one is titled &#039;Constantius II....&#039; but I will try here, and I will understand if no one knows anything about this. So here is pics of the coin I have... I am just curious because the excerpt I read about &#039;Bust Type F&#039; seemed to make it out to be scarce... this is what I read on wildwinds as a description of one of the same type of Probus ants as mine: </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot; RIC 49 Bust Type F</p><p><br /></p><p>Probus AE Antoninianus. Lugdunum Mint. </p><p>obv: IMP C M AVR PROBVS AVG - Radiate and cuirassed bust r.&nbsp; </p><p>rev: SECVRITAS ORBIS - Securitas standing l., legs crossed, leaning on column, holding sceptre in r. hand; &#039;I&#039; in exergue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Emission 3, Officina 1.

I also include the photo that they were speaking of in the writing above. **The FIRST photo is the one from wildwinds that they were talking of.... the other 3 are of my example.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>and here are the links:</p><p>text: <a href="http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/RIC_0049.txt" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/RIC_0049.txt" rel="nofollow">http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/RIC_0049.txt</a></p><p>image: <a href="http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/RIC_0049.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/RIC_0049.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/RIC_0049.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
