<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2250590, member: 32619&quot;]Ok here I go. I think many of us have seen this one already...it was part of the first group of ancients I ever bought and it fits the budget category at about $5.42 (for those of you thinking of getting into ancients). This was also a photo I took and really liked because the image captured the coin&#039;s &quot;in hand&quot; appearance very well. That is, assuming you&#039;re looking at it in a reasonably well lit room with regular light bulbs.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-11-valens.3683/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Valens, AD 364-378</p><p>AE, 3.1g, 18.5mm; 6h; Siscia</p><p>Obv.: DN VALEN-S PF AVG; pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev.: SECVRITAS-REIPVBLICAE, F in in left field, M in right field; Victory advancing right holding wreath in right hand and palm in left</p><p>In Ex.: HSISC</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure if this one fits into the &quot;Not in RIC&quot; category. Going off Wildwinds, I found this one to be similar to RIC Siscia 15b type xvi, except that one had a star over the F. I have not checked the Not in RIC database because at the time I was cataloging this one I didn&#039;t know of that website.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
