<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Romancollector, post: 8086939, member: 106319&quot;]And last but certainly not least</p><p><br /></p><p><b>21. Constantine I (AD 307/310-337)</b></p><p>This is actually one of my favourites on the list because it is one of the scarcest coins in my collection, but it is also so tiny and intricate with deep cabinet toning. Additionally, it has a British Museum provenance! I loved it when saw it in the Gorny auction, but I managed to sleep through the live auction and therefore failed to acquire it. Knowing that I wanted it, an eagle-eyed CTer informed me that it was available on VCoins and I immediately rushed to purchase it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1405081[/ATTACH] </p><p>AR Half-Argenteus (15mm, 1.6 g). Trier mint. AD 306-307. IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG, laureate, cuirassed bust right, slight drapery on left shoulder / VIRTVS MILITVM, four-turreted camp gate, no doors; PTR in exergue. RIC VI 828.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Ex British Museum</i></p><p><i>Ex Gorny &amp; Mosch Auction 276 (19 April 2021), lot 645.</i></p><p><i>Ex Credit Suisse Bern Auction 4 (3 December 1985), lot 624.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Anyways....that concludes my top 21 of 2021. I&#039;ve enjoyed seeing all your lists and hope you enjoyed seeing mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and wishing everyone a restful and restorative holiday season and a prosperous new year! </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope to meet some of you in person at NYINC![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
