I know very little could anyone help identify it or any info at all or coin number etc? it was sold as "AE3 R Victory left" I believe the text on obverse is "DN VALENTINIANUS PF AVG" and the obverse "SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE" Star over "P" in left field of obverse, and an "M" in the right (possibly with a dot over the "M"). Many thanks, coin below - Edited by Aec1985 07/20/2016 7:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

You can scroll down to find the various field marks. http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/102/102i.htm Armed with that, check this excel sheet for info on scarcity etc: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/da...adv-left.xls Edited by Finn235 07/20/2016 12:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RIC is the better part of a century old, and there have been many, many minor varieties discovered that simply aren't included. It's like trying to use a RedBook for identifying all 85+ types of 2009 LP-2 DDR cent varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
