<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4937281, member: 110350"]Many thanks. [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER], for your very detailed and thoughtful comment. Specifically with respect to the comment I quote here, I agree with you for the most part. But I did find one pair of Lucius Verus varieties with different RPC numbers, for which the two coins appear to have the same obverse design (Lucius bare headed with slight drapery to the left), and the same type of reverse (Helios surmounting Mt. Argaeus); the RPC descriptions are substantively the same as well. The only difference I can see is -- like mine -- in the pattern of rocks at the bottom center of the mountain. Here are RPC's photos of the two coins, RPC 8008 and RPC 7029:</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse of RPC 8008:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1186281[/ATTACH] </p><p>Reverse of RPC 7029:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1186282[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse of RPC 8008:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1186283[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse of RPC 7029:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1186284[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>In any event, after I get around to submitting photos of my coin to RPC, and I hear back from them, I will let all of you know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
