<p>[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 7464057, member: 10613"]I put this Constantius/ Constantinopolis coin on my website yesterday and was reminded of this coin that I recently got and thought it should be posted in this topic. It is also from Trier and looks pretty good, but the obverse legend does not have MAX in it. How many LRB's are floating around that are actually unofficial and the collector doesn't know? Does it matter if the coin is in such good style that the distinction is somewhat arbitrary? I enjoy unofficial LRB's in really good style and really bad style; though the really good style ones are my favorites. These two coins, with the same mintmark (so struck about the same time circa 332), are side by side in my tray now.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293027[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine I</p><p>A.D. 332-333</p><p>16mm 2.0g</p><p>CONSTAN-TINVS AVG; rosette diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS; Two soldiers helmeted, stg. facing one another, reversed spear in outer hands, inner hands on shields resting on the ground; between them two standards.</p><p>in ex.
