    I was looking for a nice Constantine the Great, and won this. problem is, I didn't pay attention the currency, bid 17 GBP..so my total is about $35 USD with the shipping charge, $15 more than I wanted to bid.

    Oh well, at least it's a nice coin..

    Nice clean coin. I will be honest with you, I am looking at buying some of this material. Late roman's are getting hard to find in nice lots like your coin. I think the fields are drying up, and material like this that has been flooding the market for 20 years is getting scarce.

    I do not think you will regret owning this coin man. Well, I have never regretted owning a nice coin, but still...

    P.S. where is that mintmark from? Its not very common.

    If it looks as good as it does in the pics, I could see this going on vcoins for $70-80 range, actually.

    It's a very nice coin, it's almost 2000 years old and 35 bucks is just 35 bucks. You will never regret it I bet

    Lovely condition and not too bad a price (having seen some of the London prices recently)
