[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 3217231, member: 41219"]I woke up and came downstairs this morning and FFIVN was already hard at work on his next coin. He wanted to get one done before heading out to church with his mom. He picked a tough one too. He had it narrowed down to Constantine I based off the obverse but was stuck on the reverse. I helped him a bit but we weren't able to make a full ID. We believe it to be: Constantine I, AE follis IMP CONSTANTINVS PI IN AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust right SOLI INVICTO COMITI, Sol standing left, holding globe [ATTACH=full]836786[/ATTACH] The green patina is really nice. The obverse has more details than the picture shows. On the reverse, we can make out a possible "F" on the right of Sol but can't make out what is on the left. Nor can we figure out the mintmark. Looking at [USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER] 's identification, it shows that perhaps there is a "V" to the left and possible mintmark of PLN. We just couldn't make it out. Still, a fun coin to look up! We don't have anything with a patina like it in our little collection yet.[/QUOTE]
