[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 4261981, member: 111387"]This one came in a mixed lot from an old collection and it is toned accordingly. Not knowing too much yet about Constantine I(era) coins, I'm not sure how common of a type it is. However, it looks to be well struck/centered and still retains sharp details. It came without any attribution, so it was an introductory educational foray in learning about the different mint mark abbr. in exergue on these. SMAN(Γ) representing Antioch. Apologies for the quality of the picture. It was taken with a cellphone and a flash. The coin in hand has a much browner shade to it.
