I just found this coin looking through my pile of coins to be identified. It looks like there should be enough to attribute, but I'm having trouble once again. I think it may be one of the Valentines, but.....Any help will be appreciated:

It is Valentinian II. The continuous arc of the obverse legend rules out his father and there is enough legend to support it being a Valentinian. Compare:

I believe your coin is short the flan needed to read the mintmark.

Any time you struggle with a coin of the period covered by RIC volume IX, Warren Esty's site is the place to go.

Thanks Doug,. I now have that sire bookmarked. as for this coin, I have narrowed it down to two coins and I lean towards the Constantinople coin. RIC 86a or RIC 45a. The imagery on the coin appears more like that of 86a. Anyone agree/disagree?
