<p>[QUOTE="GerardV, post: 2840184, member: 76329"]<font size="5">I really like this coin, but the discoloration at 12 o'clock on the reverse has me concerned. Mostly because I'm not 100% whether it's a minor or major issue. So, yet again, the Newbie needs a hand. Can anyone tell me if it's something to worry about? It's not an expensive coin, so I'm not expecting perfection. That mark happens to be something I'm not farmilar with. My concern is whether it's something that will spread and mess up the rest of the coin. I've heard that can happen with AE coins.</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">Any help is appreciated.</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5"><b>Valentinian I "GLORIA ROMANORVM Dragging Captive" Siscia RIC 5a gVF Well Struck</b></font></p><p><br /></p><p>Valentinian I AE3.
