<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1918301, member: 19463"]There are many, many minor variations of the Sol reverse Constantine coin including the presence or placement of a captive, mint cities and workshop designations. Most collectors who want a coin of the type, will not be particularly anxious to have this exact one or even care whether it is relatively rare but will prefer a coin in better condition. There may be someone out there trying to assemble a complete set of all the minor variations of the Sol type and that person might be willing to pay more if he lacked the exact variation but I'm not even sure there is anyone who collects the type let alone anyone who wants them in this low grade. Ancients are not like moderns. No one is trying to get a complete set of the millions of variations. Bing suggested a value of $5. I believe that was very generous. You might find some interest in a page I wrote several years ago about a similar coin:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac27.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac27.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac27.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
