<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24716591, member: 26430&quot;]Great early &quot;captives&quot; coinage of Constantine! Just added it to my file of captives types by ruler. I hadn&#039;t noticed it before (but now I see it&#039;s also got a row on the Assorted Reverses page: <a href="http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/asst3/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/asst3/" rel="nofollow">http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/asst3/</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, a common experience for anyone who likes Countermarks! You must separate the host from the stamp (although it&#039;s always nice when both are attractive).</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice NCAPR example -- I recognize that one! From the Richard Baker Collection. I&#039;ve got one of the Baker Collection NCAPR Sestertii -- he had a lot of them!

To my knowledge, no one has published a theory of why some got two heads (66 X2) and some got one standing &amp; one head of Helios (65 + 66). (I have a hypothesis, but need to double-check my data...) </p><p><br /></p><p>I cleaned it from a total crusty about 20 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Augustus Moneyer AE Dupondius [?] (28mm, 13.13g)</b>: </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1580404[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
