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.
Here is another like mine:http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/way...Default.aspx

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.

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.

Thanks guys for weighing in.

Maridvnvm, nice coins. Really like the sand patina on the 1st one.

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