This isssue is completly missing in RIC VII, but Ferrando cites a specimen in Marsille. A second coin is in the colelction of a french collector and now a third is for sale in US.

At 399.00 though, I think he is asking too much.

I also sent him a message telling him, while it is a rare coin, it is not unpublished.

200$ wuld have been a reasonable price.
But it's a rare coin indeed and i will not surprised if someone will buy it.

Yes, someone will probably buy it, because money is relative, some people have more than others, so $400.00 may not seem as much to others.

If I was selling it in my VCoins shop, I would probably price it around $250.00, maybe more depending on how it looked in hand, but from the pictures it looks really rough.

After telling him his coin was not unique and not unpublished and even showing him another example, I got this message

"Thank you for the information. I could not find this reverse type in any books. I also had some numistatic special research Arles reverse types and could not find anything that matched."

and then he relisted it still calling it "unique" and "unpublished"

It sold today, he accepted someones best offer.
