<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1911870, member: 19463&quot;]Values and prices (not always the same thing) are so hard to pin down.&nbsp; The coin suffers from a small flan cutting into much of the legends making me think the $42 number was ridiculous but the reverse figure is very nicely struck (many of these are flatly struck with lost detail) making me think $12 was a steal.&nbsp; Being polished is a downside but having a smooth color is good.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d call it an RIC 100 page 242 (late 316 AD).&nbsp; Rarity variations like the difference between this one and a coin missing the drapery make little difference in price since so few people are trying to get all the many variations.&nbsp; The general reverse is common even if the specific type and lettering details are less so.&nbsp;&nbsp; Again, how many people want all the workshop variations, all the field letter variations or care whether Sol is facing right with head left of facing forward with head left (or are these the same just reported differently in older books??).&nbsp; The price would depend on who was buying it.&nbsp; I hold the lost letters against a coin so I&#039;d think $12 was quite fair.&nbsp; Some on less bothered by that would see that good reverse figure and go $20.&nbsp; &nbsp; I see no reason to doubt the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
