Evening, I absolutely love the early Constantine coins, as Caesar and also the large format first few editions as Augustus. Treveri Ric 772a 7.71g, 26mm, 12h. 307-308 A.D. Listed as near EF by the AH, but the well written tickets that came with the coin said VF…hmmm…I’m somewhere in between but obverse is a better strike than the reverse. let’s see some of these big boys!
