You all have been super friendly and helpful and I don't want to be a bother. I just read the wiki on Valentinian I. Pretty interesting....
This is getting more and more addictive! I apologize if you are tired of seeing my threads. Just let me know and I will dial it back. Using...
OK, I've looked through the Constantine II's in wildwinds and tried to cross reference it with the images on tesorillo and I now think it is this:...
That looks way better! Thanks for the tip.
I can see the V now. Phew, this sure is hard! Fun, but hard! :)
I guessed that's what it was haha. I was looking at the reverses on the site that @TIF provided which led me to...

I'd love to own a BCE coin eventually :) I'm still working on photos and then on to ID'ing the others I have. I've read soooooo much today. Going...
Check your star note here: http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup I copy/pasted the S/N you provided and it didn't show up.
My hand was forced. If I can't get any boxes of coins then I have to find something else to do :) Reading into these ancients is a lot of fun too :)
Phew! I had to look through the examples several times haha. I am working on another one now. More tricky. This was the easiest to read coin I...
I think it is this one: Siscia RIC VII 200,B Constantine AE follis. 326-327 AD. CONSTANTINVS AVG, Laureate head right / PROVIDENTIAE AVGG,...
I'm assuming the SIS underneath the tower is Siscia?
I just took a quick shot of mine. I like it well enough. I paid the same amount for it as I did for the normal 2018 Maple. [ATTACH]
