<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1799842, member: 42773&quot;]I have two Phoenix types of Constantius II, this my first Constans. I&#039;m not sure if any other emperors used the type. I wouldn&#039;t go so far as to call the coins scarce, but they certainly seem less common than other reverse types. Although this coin has weak legends, the portrait and phoenix are quite strong, and it was a bargain-bin find at $15. Many higher-priced examples don&#039;t look much better as far as legends go.</p><p><br /></p><p>Compare the difference in the mound style with this coin. One is a pile of slabs, the other a pile of boulders. I wonder if there is any significance to the fact that both mounds have five tiers...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s8.postimg.org/kfqcsseph/attribution.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
