[QUOTE="jamesicus, post: 3163431, member: 14873"][LIST] [*]Following are some side notes: [*]The information here is mostly based on THE LONDON MINT OF CONSTANTIUS AND CONSTANTINE (CT = Cloke/Toone) - a relatively new book which includes considerable additional and revised coinage material, including a new catalog numbering and rarity assessment system. [*]RIC uses follis/folles as the nomenclature for this coinage while CT uses nummus/nummi. [*]I use RIC catalog numbers for all coin depictions (if applicable) on my web pages and include equivalent CT catalog numbers where appropriate. [*]CT uses a rarity assessment scale for London Mint coinage which appears to be realistic and up-to-date being based on four significant Census Hoard finds that comprise over 3,000 London Mint coins as follows: [*]C - Common: 25 to 150 examples (over 150 - very common CC) S - Scarce: 5 to 24 examples R - Rare: 0 to 4 examples (0 - very rare RR) [*]For me the Jury is still out until I have a chance to survey the system more.
