Great coinsRandy. Congrats!
Here a FH from my portrats collection:

backside:


The mintmark is RST* or RSr*, the tekst is there, but there is corrodation. In hand i can see it much better. The weight is 5.52 grams, diameter = 24 mm.

greetings, sky92880

 

Welcome @sky92880 to the Ancients Forum of CT!

 

Nice Constans, not to easy to find. It's Thessalonica, it's hard to see but I think the mint mark is TS Gamma Star (theres only 5 choices for officina: A, B, Delta, Gamma, and Epsilon).

Neat coin and welcome to CT

 

My copy of Failmezger arrived today and I must say these are among the most beautiful plates I've see in a book. Kudos to our @dougsmit !

 

Indeed, they are nicely done. Glad you book arrived.

 

Anyone who has the book and likes the photos, please write me a private Conversation rather than posting it. This shows the rig used way back then.

 

Hello e-one!
Randy, I just finished cleaning this coin and it looks a lot like yours, I think, although markings are different:

 

Nice, it does look like Heraclea. I'm on my phone now so can make out all at the moment but maybe smh delta

 

I think it is SMH delta.

 

Yup same as mine
RIC Heraclea 82

 

Here's one I found that's not half bad. It came in the first uncleaned lot I ever got. I cleaned it a bit but the red sandy patina on it started to turn more white so I let it be. It could definitely use more cleaning around the letters though but meh. I have it as Julian II from Arles, what do you guys think??

 

Definitely. Either Arles 273 or 274

 

Thanks Randy. Such a shame it's broken.

 

Still a decent coin. The difference between 273 and 274 is the obv. legend break, 273 DN IVLIAN-VS NOB CAES 274 DN IVLIANV-S NOB CAES.

 

I did have it down as 274 and it does look like the legend breaks off after the N. I gave it a bit more of a cleaning but now it seems harder to see haha. I really need to get more reference books seeing as how 273 wasn't on wildwinds. Thanks again man.
