Eddop Valued Member Netherlands 409 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 02:16 am I think it's not RIC 143 it's a variant, this combination isn't listed in RIC : IMP CM CLA TACITVS AVG. Nice catch. Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 07:46 am RIC is notoriously bad for this peiod. Here is a link to a decent online databse that catalog 56 examples from LaVenera, Paris etc.... This site was created by Dr. S. Estiot et al. http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/3630 Regards, Martin Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 12:23 pm Thanks Martin and Eddop, I've book marked that site! That RIC temp 3630 looks like my coin. Obviously the dealer blew it on this listing, not even the correct mint. Report this Post to the Staff
