<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3085555, member: 88829&quot;]To me this looks like a normal die for an early SECVRITAS REI-PVBLICAE printing on a dumpy flan that has way too little diameter for the die - which I think is how you see it too.&nbsp; That said, the era of production for these would be early Valentinian for a normally larger coin. Hence: Valentine I, Gratian, and Valens.&nbsp; I see that the right side obverse legend begins with S, but I agree with TIF that the reading is more likely S PF AVG, although the letters are arranged differently than she would have them.&nbsp; She has covered the S with a P, and what she is calling an F I read as the P.&nbsp; If I am correct, then after that P there are four more raised spots for letters - F A V G.&nbsp;&nbsp; That would make it Valens.&nbsp;&nbsp; RIC IX Alexandria 3b, officina Delta.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
