<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2028927, member: 42773&quot;]As you all know, I dig around in (metaphorical) junk bins for scarce coins that others have overlooked for lack of cherry-picking savvy. Last night I won this scrappy little coin of Constans, a type that I believe was only minted in Rome - but I need to check RIC to verify that.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, this coin isn&#039;t going to win any beauty contests, and RIC actually rates these types as common, but I believe they&#039;re rare.
