Not sure if CT has it, but there's at least one reverse type missing there: Consecratio for Chlorus (in ANS collection), as well as more recent ones such as London Mars bust.

I'm curious why Virtvs Avgg Et Caess NN is listed there as "only" RR, vs Victoria Avgg RRR? I assume this follows CT? I'm only aware of a single specimen of each (VAEC NN in the Fitzwilliam museum, and VA from Downside hoard in Somerset). Does CT list more than one specimen of VAEC NN ?

 

Yes, I've not expanded it beyond what is listed in the main body of CT, I never got around to the supplemental additions, so those could indeed be added.

You are also correct in your second paragraph, CT lists them as RR and RRR respectively, but in the notes they are both listed as being known from only one example each, so I assume it is an error and that both should be RRR.

Edit: also I'll just note here that the 00 numbers at the beginning are clearly not in CT, but seemed relevant enough for me to list as being of importance to the early coinage of Britannia.

It would be cool if somebody would make a google sheets doc (or something) to keep track of what major types and subtypes from LMCC (Cloke & Toone) we've covered in this thread... anyone? 😽

Here's the sheet I made for personal use, tracking the person and the type, and not legend or bust varieties.  Anyone please feel free to make a copy of it and edit it how you see fit.  This particular copy I have linked can't be edited for obvious reasons.

Yes not easy, and not helped (or helped, depending on the circumstances) by them being mistaken for Maximian.

If I remember correctly, my Galerius as Augustus posted above was listed as Maximian which probably allowed me to get it, considering it's almost mint fresh.  One of my favourite coins.

Nothing coming at the moment, but I do have my eye on a nice unreduced nummus from Aquilea in my watch list and I'm considering pulling the trigger.  Hopefully it will sit a little longer so I can wait for the budget refresh day haha. 

Here are a few from my collection that I particularly like.
