    Sorry, you guys, but I have another.
    This coin was given to me and because of it's poor condition I had to have a go at attributing it.

    I got as far as:
    Obv: CONSTANTIUS NOB CAES, Laureate, draped, bust right,
    Rev: (Unknown legend), Moneta, facing, head left, holding Cornucopiae and scales.
    (Is that an 'M' in right field?)
    (Is there something below the scales?)

    Maybe -
    RIC VI Aquileia 32a
    " " " 34a
    " " " 40a (my favorite)
    RIC VI Rome 99a
    " " " 102a
    " " " 106a
    " " " 112a
    RIC VI Siscia 135a
    " " " 141a
    RIC VI Ticinum 46a
    RIC VI Trier 488a

    Any thoughts on this one?

    With any field marks indistinct and the mintmark completely missing, I think Constantius I as Caesar with Moneta reverse is about as far as you'll get with this one, Tc.

    @zumbly
    You 'think', but, I 'know', it's as far as I can get.
    I was, (sort of), hoping someone, much better versed in these than me, might see something that I missed and get a lot closer, than I can, to an attribution.

    Ken Dorney Yea, I'm Cool That Way...

    Well, I'm afraid to tell you that a general attribution is the best you will do on this one. I would suggest you just buy a better example with a clear mintmark. Not to say this isnt collectible, just that further and positive mint attribution is impossible.
