<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2589072, member: 19463&quot;]My impression is that the style of this coin just is not &#039;right&#039; for the official mint of that period and the chance of it being a barbarous/unofficial copy is present.&nbsp; There are solid (non-fourree) imitations from this period that may vary a bit in style from regular mint product.&nbsp; I do not know a specialist in Elagabalus to ask. I would just call it an RIC 8 and leave it at that.&nbsp; This volume of RIC lists bust types all together with the same number.&nbsp; In this case there is a b and a d of which this looks like b but it is not a case where I would feel obligated to quote the b like I would if there were numbers inserted.&nbsp; This is not handled consistently even in RIC IV with its committee of authors each doing things &#039;their way&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
