For a long time I have been hunting a bargain bin example of a Campgate with open doors. I found this one selling on Ebay in a a buy it now or make offer sale. It happened to be a seller with which I've done extensive business. So I made him an offer of half what he was asking and he accepted. I was caught off guard I was so surprised as this seller is not one to accept that has ever accepted any low ball offers from me. I know it's not even close to being the nicest we've seen here on CT, but it is the nicest I've ever seen for the price. Enjoy and post any of your campgates if you like. CONSTANTINE I AE3 Follis OBVERSE: CONSTAN-TINVS AVG, Pearl-diademed head right REVERSE: VIRTV-S AVGG, campgate with four turrets, open gates and star above, S F at sides, PCONST in ex. Struck at Arles, 328AD 2.70g, 20mm RIC VII 321.

What a great coin jw, doors and 4 turrets what more could you ask for...i like... i pick this one up late last year, i picked one with doors also, but i can't find the picture...
cha-chinnnggg!! => sweet new doors, big brother ... congrats! ... ummm, as you probably already know, I too have a few examples with doors: Constantine I (quite similar to your new addition, my friend) Constantius II Constantine II
that's a nice campgate bing. i don't have one with open doors here's a no-door version. kind of rough, but i like the silvering.
