<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 2873783, member: 14873&quot;][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] -- good observations all around. I am too single minded of purpose to offer global prescriptions&nbsp; for attributions here -- my Tetrarchic unreduced folles research and collecting has been confined to coinage produced at the London Mint, plus the Constantius Britannic Invasion coinage produced at the &quot;unknown&quot; (Boulogne?) Continental Mint. My attributions are mostly, but not always, based on RIC, Volume VI, Londinium/Lugdunum although I do not hold RIC to be infallible or even exceptionally reliable -- my personal copy is populated with a profusion of notes, questions, corrections and challenges. However, I do find RIC to be a great &quot;go to&quot; reference when attributing my coins --&nbsp; augmented by several well known online reference resources. I have found the various introductory chapters in RIC to be of great value in understanding the historical associations of various coin issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think some of the sections of RIC are under-utilized such as the indices commencing on page 689 of the 1967 Edition of RIC Volume VI:</p><p><br /></p><p>Index I&nbsp; - Obverse Legends (page 689)</p><p>Index II - Reverse Legends (page 698)</p><p>Index III - Reverse Types (page 708)</p><p><br /></p><p>Index I is, in my opinion, particularly relevant to this present discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>James</p><p><br /></p><p>Sent from my iPad[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
