I know it’s bad form to talk about coins at auction. But here is an eBay “buy it now“ coin that might otherwise go under the radar. It’s an Eyes...
Your Constantine looks fine. It is one of these. I can’t tell the mint mark, but it’s Ticinum because the scarce variant cross in the left reverse...
You added 20 coins. I added 20 pounds.
THE DEACON RAY VIRTUAL MUSEUM!
Not much to add here. Indeed, it is a Constantine VLPP. In that condition, the coin is probably worth $10-20. This coin type is ubiquitous, and I...

I want to go walking with you.

Pretty clearly pouring some sacrifice from a patera over an altar. Does Cupid do that? Victory? Seems a winged figure, or I’d say it’s Genius....
That’s a lovely coin Parthicus. Sometimes I really enjoy seeing a very nice example of a common coin, as if the commonness serves as a foil...
Another impressive thing about that coin is that, it’s one thing to find such an unusual mule or unofficial coin. It’s another thing to find it in...
That’s an impressive highlight reel. Congrats on 10 years. I have been collecting longer, but I don’t think my highlights are as impressive. Good eye.
