[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3166873, member: 56859"]Welcome to Ancients, [USER=97582]@Juan91[/USER] :) As [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] said, it's not Constantine I and the slabbing company is not reputable. Any ancient coin can be exciting, especially your first, so keep this and let it be the start of a new hobby. I'm glad came here though. You'll find many resources on this board by using the search function and as you gain knowledge you'll be able to buy much better coins for less money. You'll be able to find and buy coins in much better condition. Here are your pictures, edited to crop all of the unnecessary plastic and adjusted as much as possible to see some details. It looks like your coin is probably a posthumous issue of Claudius II, eagle reverse.
