VOT V mintmark issue

[Csaba K]

Hello All,

i am trying to ID this coin by using the excel files from http://www.catbikes.ch/
so when i filter for 'delta' in mintmark the only results containing CAESS are all with a left facing bust types
what am i doing wrong here?
thanks in advance

Your coin is RIC VII THESSALONICA 38, unlisted officina.

CRISPVS NOBILISS CAES, bust B4
VOT V / MVLY X / CAESS TS (RIC lists only officina epsilon).

Could you give weight and diameter? Better picture is also welcome.

[Csaba K]

diameter is around 18-19 mm
weight is 3g (not super exact,as i used only a kitchen scale)
more photos to follow in a few hrs
Can this coin be added to RIC?

[Csaba K]

here are some (hopefully) better pictures

Please, take a picture of the obverse focusing on sharpness of legend. I am pretty sure that legend is CRISPVS NOBILISS CAES but it should be also visible on picture.

Can this coin be added to RIC?

Yes, i.e. should be added note to THESSALONICA 38 that also officina delta is now attested.

what is the process to add some new coins to RIC?
what do i have to do?
thanks again

The first picture is sharp but I need WHOLE obverse (and reverse too) on one picture

what do i have to do?

Nothing. I am going to add your coin on my "Not in RIC" website so the info of the new officina will be available for the whole numismatic community.

And also the coin itself is worn. Thanks, Joe.

It's OK,

No bad but very small. If your bigger pictures (kike this one with only 1/4 of the coin) are too big for attachment, you can send them on my email: notinric@lechstepniewski.info

[Csaba K]

thanks all for your help!
this is really exciting to find a new coin variant not yet in RIC
i just started to collect coins a few months ago.I am not sure how often you encounter a new type?
i will try to do some bigger photos tomorrow
