Yes. He seems to always have some interesting and unusual LRBs, though he prices them accordingly. But he had a lovely Trier Galerius that was in...
Let me just go on record by saying that I love VCoins. My first VCoins purchase was in 2005. My most recent was from this morning. I had a fallow...
Second coin is a FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse. Can’t quite make out the obverse. Probably one of the sons of Constantine. Alas, these coins are...
Third coin is Theodosius I with Victory on Galley reverse. Could be AE2 or Ae3 depending on size. Like this:...
Love the Pompey. An unmistakable portrait.

London Constantine VLPP. Not in hand yet. It’s on its way. $16.69. [ATTACH]
