And here is one of my fallen horseman coins I cant make out the mint. I'm almost tempted to take a fine steel mesh to the rust or buildup on the bust. There is lots of these coins what do you think the RIC is on this one.   |

Constantius II AE Centenionalis. 351-355 AD. D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / FEL TEMP REPARATIO, soldier spearing fallen horseman left, G left, ALEA in ex. RIC 72 of Alexandria, Cohen 46, LRBC 2836
-is this the right RIC #72?

I haven't done any research yet, but I don't see the "gamma" in the left field. Maybe its just me. Also there is a "dot" at the end of the mm in exergue which doesn't seem to fit with RIC 72. Give me a little time and I will either "confirm or deny" as they say in politics.

Aurelian, ÆAntoninianus 270-275 A.D. Obv: IMP AVRELIANVS AVG. Radiate, cuirassed bust right. Rx: CONCORDIA MILITVM. Aurelian standing right, clasping hands with Concordia, standing left. RIC V, I 216, C 61, Cf. SR (’88) 3258, VM 7. Could this be the att. for this coin? I think this one needs to soak a little longer.   |

I believe that it is a Sirmium RIC VIII 52: Constantius II AE3. 351-355 AD. D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right / FEL TEMP REPARATIO, soldier advancing left, spearing fallen horseman (reaching type), ASIRM dot in ex Take a look at the image at this link and see if you agree: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/cons...viii_052.jpg |

On the Aurelianus I think you are close, but the reverse legend is different then what you have attributed. Take another look and I will look as well.

This one here at 13MM is the baby of the bunch and I have no idea where to start since I cant read the legend   |

sorry I was downloading more pictures, I think your right on both of them. I'm not as familier with these coins as you are.

Once again I am not 100% positive on this, but I believe it is Siscia RIC 15a,xi var:
Valentinian I AE3. D N VALENTINIANVS P F AVG, pearl diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right / SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE, Victory advancing left with wreath; no field mark. Mintmark star DSISC. RIC 15a, type xi var (no fieldmark for this mintmark)

Have another look at the Constantine Sol on page 2 jessvc1 - I wont tell you what it is (not for 24hrs anyways) but look at coins from the Rome mint and bear in mind that 'R's and 'A' sometimes look very alike on these coins.
