Weird. That's a photo of the old coin that I replaced with the new one from the lot from Roma. I copied it from this page and pasted it into the...
I have a bust of Sol type. I received it in a lot of coins from Roma that contained several of his coins. This photo is currently in my "To be...
Actually, I think it depends on the individual coin. Most of my silver coins look better in low-angle bright light, which shows off the details...
I haven't seen this reverse type listed yet, so here's mine: [IMG] Gallic Empire, unidentified mint Obv: IMP C M AVR MARIVS AVG Rev: VIRTVS AVG -...

At this point your best bet may be to compare the styles of different mints during the 337-340 A.D. time span. (Constans is called Augustus rather...
My guess is that with the COMITI AVGG NN reverses he is beseeching Sol's support and protection for the entire Roman Empire. We'll never know, but...
The serifs on the mint mark letters did not show up very well in your first photo, giving the letters the "modern" appearance that concerned...
