<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3237451, member: 19463&quot;]I have no intent on guessing real or fake from the poor photos but I will comment on Mat&#039;s $20 number.&nbsp; Such things are very much a matter on whether there is a buyer who wants that coin in that condition.&nbsp; I have one that I have not found a buyer for at half that price but that doesn&#039;t mean there isn&#039;t someone who was looking for this variation with the HR monogram and would be happy to pay even more.&nbsp; The coin is not nice enough to appeal to people who are seeking one and only one coin of Constans.&nbsp; I find it hilarious that black and white photos are so infrequently seen now that they just don&#039;t look right to most of us.&nbsp; Most of us shot black and white back when film was king and digital was pretty awful whether in color or not. I saw my first digital images in the late 1980&#039;s and really doubted it would ever amount to much.&nbsp; I did not buy Apple stock either so won&#039;t go down as one of the smart people of that decade.&nbsp; The Siscia mint issued the type in several series distinguished by little details like this HR monogram.&nbsp; The mint operated a series of workshops placing a Greek numeral (I believe mine is a B for shop 2 but am unsure of yours) before the SIS city mark.&nbsp; Assuming it is genuine, congratulations on you first ancient.&nbsp; If you decide to go further in the hobby, work on coin photography so you can get help more easily.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]846703[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
