If you can't attribute any of the coins with the dirt on them, your first course of action should be soaking in distilled water, changing it every...
Yes, it's definitely Constantius II. The legend that you see on the obverse is actually PF AVG, P(IVS) F(ELIX) AVG(VSTVS). Gallus was never...
Doug Smith, who posts at here at CT, has composed a wonderful set of pages that are useful for collectors of all levels, but especially beginners....
