TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 2:08 pm Found this mostly silvered Probus at a local shop recently:D I think its attribution is as follows, but am not sure because my coin has a dot after the "s" on the reverse. http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/t.html RIC V-2 921; Sear 11960. Probus AE Antoninianus. Antioch mint. IMP C M AVR PROBVS AVG, radiate, draped bust right / CLEMENTIA TEMP, Probus standing right with sceptre & receiving globe from Jupiter, officina letter S [Dot] in lower centre, mintmark XXI.

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 2:38 pm With a globe as on this coin it is RIC 921 as in the OP. RIC 922 has the longer PROBVS P F AVG legend and has the slightly different "Emperor standing right, holding sceptre, receiving Victory from Jupiter standing left, holding sceptre" reverse.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 2:49 pm In that case Helvetica is wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 3:19 pm My Helvetica list concurs with what I said though my original post was based on my own coin attributions confirmed with RIC. The RIC 922 entries have "receiving Victory from" in column G. Martin Report this Post to the Staff

Here is another Probus (a little rough for sure) from the same lot:) I think it is another RIC 921. Report this Post to the Staff
