<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randygeki, post: 2757637, member: 13719&quot;]I went to the coin shop today and picked up a couple coins to hold me over, but when I got home the mail man brought me the 3 coins I&#039;m waiting for, all from different dealers/countries. I was surprised to get the all at once.</p><p><br /></p><p>The favorite is my FTR from Aquileia.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]632970[/ATTACH] </p><p>CONSTANS </p><p>4.39g. 24 mm</p><p>Obv: D N CONSTANS P F AVG. </p><p>Diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right; A to left.</p><p>Rev: FEL TEMP REPARATIO . </p><p>Constans standing left in galley, holding crowning Victory on globe and labarum with Chi-Rho; A to left; to right, Victory steering galley left.

The Constans could use some cleaning but I&#039;d rather not attempt it.
