    Got these last weak, but been too lazy lazy to post :p I gave using my phone for pics a try. The pics arent great, but not terrible either.

    The closest I can find for the campgate is RIC 144(which is an r4), but the one shown has 6 levels. while mine has 5.

    Constantine AE Follis. 326-327 AD. CONSTANTINVS AVG, laureate head right / PROVIDENTIAE AVGG, campgate with two turrets and star above, Mintmark NDelta

    Nicomedia
    RIC VII 144,Delta R4?

    The other I think is MOESIA INFERIOR, Marcianopolis. Elagabalus

    Great additions, silvering on the constantine looks excellent.

    Your Constantine is excellent. I looked up in Helvetica's page, and RIC 144 is listed with anywhere from 5-7 levels and she lists it as R4. Great pickup.

    The second coin I will have to do some research.

    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    what a great campgate RG...dang, that thing looks like it was minted last week.

    i think your provincial coin may be severus alexander instead of elagabalus...but not sure.

    compare with this coin..

    Thanks all. The campgate has silvering but the glare from the light brought it out more than what it really is.
    Thanks!
    Thanks as well! I think Sev. Alexander may be right too, but a different rev.

    Excellent examples 'randy', better than the few I have in a similar grade...and your photos appear excellent to me.

    Unfortunately, my examples are still unphotographed

    I love the bold, clear mint mark on the Constantine, and the excellent portrait of Elagabalus.

    chrsmat71 was definitely correct about it being Severus Alexander.
