<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2408307, member: 19463"]Did anyone see anything as late as a Constantine? The ones I saw were more likely first Tetrarchy making me wonder if they mistook Constantius I for Constantine and probably failed to separate out the Galerius coins which would read Maximianus. Many of us have recently obtained some decent looking coins of this period making me wonder when this group was found. If these coins were really uncirculated and straight from the mint on the way to be military pay, It would not be out of the question that there could be thousands of identical coins making ID more a matter of sorting than research. I do not speak Spanish so I have no idea what the lady said. The coins looked to be of a period still using the 4.77% alloy or close to it which may be indicated in the following comment from above.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What date of find was given?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
