<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randygeki, post: 2618910, member: 13719&quot;]So for a while (years) I&#039;ve had a handful of coins that I wanted to pull out and decide which I was going both photographing. A few weeks ago I pulled them out and today I was getting ready to go through them, when I got a knock on the door. It was the mailman with a distraction for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently I bought a lot of 3 coins, all a bit glossy but all nice. I Grabbed the lot for this coin, another FH from Alexandria with a very nice style.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]574226[/ATTACH] </p><p>DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG Constantius II pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right</p><p>FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO soldier spearing Horseman, bearded, bare-headed, reaching, reaching</p><p>ALEΓ in ex. Γ in left field</p><p><br /></p><p>Alexandria 72 var (headwear)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one has a nice black patina, but was the hardest to snap of pic of.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]574225[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>City Commemorative, AE Follis. Lyons. CONSTAN-TINOPOLIS, laureate and helmeted bust of Constantinopolis left wearing imperial mantle and holding spear / No legend, Victory standing facing, foot on prow, holding sceptre and resting left hand on shield. Mintmark: PLG. RIC VII Lyons 241; Sear 16445. R1</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one came with &quot;ex Bridgnorth 2007&quot; on one of the tags. I&#039;m assuming It&#039;s from the Bridgnorth Hoard discovered in 2007. The patina is very similar and there were 184 galley types of Constans and Constantius II from Trier with the hoard. These 3 all came from a UK dealer as well.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]574224[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Constans, AE23.
