I Got this in the mail the other day and though I don't regret getting it, I wasn't the happiest with it despite it being a harder Fel Temp to find and getting 2 decent uncleaned freebies. The seller was great and the price was good, it just didnt float my boat so much when I got it. Constantius II AE3. AD 348-351. D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, Emperor in military dress advancing left, treading on captive, holding Victory on a globe and a chi-rho standard, Γ left, star right. Mintmark star TS Delta Dot (or star) Thessalonica RIC VIII 172 To make up for it, I got this nice commemorative for $12 at my local shop. Much nice r in hand too.

First one has a nice patina & second has a nice portrait. We all have coins that end up being a bit once they arrive.
Never have regrets about your sweet coins ... it's a hobby (it's supposed to be fun => coins are fun) Bosporian Kings, Sauromates I, AE 48 Units 98-104 AD Sauromates I & Implements of Battle *sigh* although I still love this coin ... I do have regrets that I bought a coin that had "minor tooling" Yah, I don't want any of my coins to have minor/artistic tooling
