    I just wanted to throw this one in your thread since you posted a Constantine memorial in there...it doesn't get to come out often.

    [​IMG]
    Constantine I
    AE, 1.72g, 15.5mm; 7h; Cyzicus, AD 347-348
    Obv: DV CONSTANTINVS P T AVGG; veiled head right
    Rev.: VN-MR; Constantine standing right, dot
    In Ex.: SMKB
    Ref.: Cyzicus RIC VIII 54
    Reference reports a dot In Ex. but this coin's flan is chipped there. Wildwinds also reports VN MR is rare for this mint.

    Do you happen to have pictures of what the coin looked like before cleaning?
