<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4685670, member: 110350&quot;]The only coins I have with provenances discovered after purchase are a handful that I&#039;ve discovered were previously sold at CNG or Roma auctions, most recently the two Thessaly Zeus/Athena staters I bought that turned out to come from the Triton XV auction.&nbsp; But none from further back than about 2005, so nothing exciting.&nbsp; And I have no coins at all from the London mint -- at least, not anything minted in London for at least another 1,200 years!.&nbsp; But here are my coins of Constantius I and his grandson Constantius II, from the Heraclea and Trier mints, respectively:</p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius I Chlorus Caesar (father of Constantine I), Billon Follis, 296-297 AD,</p><p>Heraclea Mint (3rd Officina).
