[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2360034, member: 31620"]Some certainly seem to demand a premium. I did used to own this scarcer bust but sold it. [B]Constantine II - Follis [/B] Obv:– CONSTANTINVS IVN N C, Laureate, cuirassed bust left wearing trabea, holding Victoriola in right hand Rev:– BEATA TRANQLITAS, Altar inscribed VOT/IS/XX, surmounted by globe with plain vertical lines and diagonals between horizontal lines, three stars above Minted in London (//PLON). Reference:– RIC VII London - (Not listed with this bust type from London). Leetoone proposes in his paper on the London mint in Numismatic Circular that all busts of this type with the Victoriola are poorly interpreted versions of the type with Victoriola and Mappa as in RIC VII London 288.
