Constantius I Campgate

Beautiful coin zumbly, great detail, excellent buy. Would you believe I still don't own a campgate of that sort yet........you would expect better of some body that collects architecture.

Z that is a stunner. I have yet to nab an argenteus in any shape or form. Nearest thing I can contribute is this doors open campgate.

I certainly agree that the good silver argentii are great coins and something I would love to have. I do seequite a few that strike me as poor silver and many with broken/chipped flans suggesting there was a quick fall from the high levels tat started the issue.

My only argentius is from Maximinus II and is poor billon from Trier.

 

Wonderful coin Z! Certainly one of the most eye-appealing 'campgates' I've seen.

 

Quite inexcusable!

 

Thanks for all the kind comments, everyone.

 

Z, super nice argentius.I only have one . It's a Diocletian, not the best but I like it.
