[QUOTE="Steven Michael Gardner, post: 3853628, member: 97508"]I am stumped: #1 on making out this mintmark?? The closest I come is Mintmark TS Γ star. Wildwinds: Thessalonica RIC VIII 114, Γ, var [URL='http://dirtyoldbooks.com/roman/id/constans/cn099.jpg']http://dirtyoldcoins.com RIC 116v (VIII, Thessalonica)[/URL] #2 finding an example of the symbol in left field?? #3 Every example I have found shows lettering on the obverse left side of bust as such: "DN CONSTA" ... If you notice, my example has "DN CONSTAN" on the left of the bust?? below, these are the only two obverse titles that begin with DN on all Constans coins... DN CONSTANS MAX AVG VSTVS DN CONSTANS PF AVG maybe i'm being to picky but both do not work on my coin... I have always had good luck when I pick the many brains here that know more than I, always open to new & interesting out of the box ideas... give me your best thoughts? Sincerely Steven[/QUOTE]
