<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2697831, member: 76194&quot;]Well folks, yet another London Mint coin for me. This one is marked <b>R1</b> in the rarity index by RIC (Only 12 or less coins known to exist), which probably means it&#039;s actually not that rare and there could be a few dozen...maybe even a hundred coins known to exist.&nbsp; RIC was never that accurate when it came to his rarity index. But either way it should be &quot;rare&quot; enough!</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse features that despicable monster, Constantine the &quot;Great,&quot; with a helmet. There is mild pitting by the helmet area, but is otherwise pristine.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse features a worn die, with part of the lettering for VOT PR being struck rather weak, and you can see the weak strike as well on some of the legend around the edge of the reverse. But it&#039;s otherwise pristine.</p><p><br /></p><p>The patina is glossy dark</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]606621[/ATTACH]</p><p>Constantine I</p><p>AE 3 3.52 g, 17.57mm</p><p>London Mint Circa 319-320 CE</p><p>IMP CONSTANTI_NVS AG</p><p>High-crested helmeted, three pellets in crossbar, cuirassed bust left, spear over right shoulder/ VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP&nbsp; Two Victories, standing facing each other, inscribing shield with VOT | PR above altar with diamond pattern, dot in each corner of altar and one in center / PLN in exergue</p><p>RIC VII, 159 (R1)</p><p><img src="https://www.vcoins.com/Resources/_clear.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
