[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 4363961, member: 75143"]This coin is great! The details are nice and sharp, and overall condition is quite fine. Unfortunately, all of the important letters are [B]missing[/B]. [ATTACH=full]1103015[/ATTACH]Obv: DN-----VSPFAVG Rev: SALVSREI PVBLICAE Diam: 14mm According to Tesorillo, [URL]https://tesorillo.com/aes/133/133i.htm[/URL] I have 3 choices: Johannes Theodosius II Valentinian III It can't be Johannes because his legend doesn't have a "VSPFAVG." So it's either T2 or V3. Wildwinds does show any V3 with this reverse. However, I can't really see the blank space on the obverse managing to fit "DNPLAVALENTINIAN" in the relatively small space available. But, if Wildwinds doens't list a V3 with this reverse, and [I]does[/I] list a T2 with this reverse, then it must be T2? But the T2's legend is "DNTHEODOSI-VSPFAVG," and this example doesn't appear to have a break in the text. Pls help tyvm[/QUOTE]
