<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3546258, member: 88829&quot;]Ah, sorry, I misunderstood what you were asking.&nbsp; You are correct that your coin is not RIC 1163(a)(a or b subtype) but is 1163(b) [i.e. without &quot;AVGVSTA] which only comes as an (a) subtype.&nbsp; That item is indeed rated &quot;scarce&quot; even with the basic obverse decoration, which your coin has.&nbsp; However, the rarity scales in RIC are not entirely uniform for sources or purpose across the volumes and may not directly translate to market frequency.&nbsp; Of greater significance, I think, is the likelihood that the coins with the shorter obverse inscription [i.e. 1163(b)] were produced later than those with the longer inscription [both classes of (a)].&nbsp; As with the denarii, so also the bronze, that time difference is reflected in the <i>BMCRE</i> listings but not in RIC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
