[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 26729784, member: 10613"]Here is another neat coin that I just got. It sure looks like Constantius II is wearing an earring; but I'm not convinced that it was maybe just how one engraver made an ear lobe. For now, I will definitely say it is an "earring ?". There is also something that the engraver left out on the obverse of this coin. It's not a small detail either. You win all the internet points for the day if you can figure it out. :D I will point it out eventually if nobody notices it.
