<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2662938, member: 83956&quot;]I love this coin type. Good OP pickup. And rarely do I say, &quot;Nice flan,&quot; but Ken&#039;s&nbsp; coin is remarkable for that feature. </p><p><br /></p><p>Despite my love of this coin type, I too was late in realizing that Bill Welch (I think that&#039;s his name) was selling off his &quot;moonmoth&quot; collection. I was able to get examples from Rome, Trier, and Lyons from him. He was very gracious in cutting me a deal for all three. I just need Arles to complete a mint city set for Constans. </p><p><br /></p><p>Given his considerable time investment in these coins, I wonder why Bill&#039;s selling. I hope he is well. In any event, his Forum webpages on this type were a real service to the numismatic community, both collectors and academics alike. </p><p><br /></p><p>One tidbit about this type: Konrad Kraft believed that this so-called &quot;barbarian and hut&quot; type was much more common for Constans than for Constantius II. From my collecting pursuits, I have experienced this to be true, albeit unscientifically.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
