    Click here to enlarge Nice rock collection. I have quite a few from my earlier days of collecting too.

    Hi Derick,

    Coin #1

    I believe is actually Constantine II. Clearly from Ticinum with TT in exergue. Without being able to fully read the obverse legend the determining factor becomes the bust type. Constantine I only had this type minted with a plain Laureate bust and this coin looks to be laureate, draped and cuirassed, thus Constantine II.

    Coin #2) I have no opinion. Seeing the reverse would help.

    Coin #3) Pretty sure based on the obverse legend break that this is Constans from Siscia.

    Regards,

    -Kurt
