I really like these types I don't know why. My favourite is the COSTAN / TINVS /AVG reverse from Constantine I.

Plus the small busts from the Caesars are always entering. They look so little.

 

Nice example of a scarce type. I've seen more left-facing busts on these coins than right. I'm not sure if that means anything.

 

Not too much I doubt.

 

Sweet new pick-up ... nice eye-appeal with the ol' green and silver goin' on (congrats)

 

Yeah, havent seen many of these. Nice grab!

 

Love the reverse most of all, but the small portrait is also neat.

 

that is a cool LRB, cool "vot" variation and cool small bust.
