<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3232252, member: 19463"]The RIC listing provided shows well the problem with RIC for coins of this period Number 666 not only covers this exact coin but those with four other bust types and all 14 officina letter variations. I really do not know if all obverse variations came with all reverse variations but how would you like a collection of 70 'different' coins all RIC 666? Changing a letter or two in the obverse legend will move you o a different RIC number from Siscia. Similar arrays of variation came from some other Probus mints and can be distinquished by style and the way the officinae were recorded. I suppose someone could add up how many variations of this reverse is possible but that is a job for someone else! If and when RIC V part 2 for Probus is reworked as is now being done for RIC V part 1, I would expect all these numbers to be separated.</p><p> <img src="https://radiofreethinker.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/carl_sagan-gary_larson.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
