That's a sweet new golden beauty, p-dawg (congrats) Ummm, I have a scraggly ol' AE version of those guys ... wanna see it? Constantine V with Leo IV.

Thanks Mat/Steve.... Neat AE coin, bet those are rarer then AV ones, you see way more of his gold coins, then silver/copper coinage. Well, I am off to work, next week probably be cutting grass....again
