jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 12:58 am I dont know what it is about this coin but I like the reddish color on it. This is a nice constantine with a sol reverse PF dot mint mark. I know its not the best but I like it. I was just downloading pictures into some of my online albums so I thought I would throw this on here. Edited by jessvc1 03/25/2012 02:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 01:52 am I agree Jess. There is something attractive about the color and the tone of this coin. It is very rich and pleasant to look at. I am curious as to the mint mark. I can't recall any mint for this type or period that would have an "F" in it unless I am missing something. The only mint mark that I can find that would fit this type, with this particular legend break and field mark is "PTdot" for Ticinum RIC VII 16. Is is possible that there is a deposit that has made a "T" look like an "F" or maybe some generally morphing has taken place over time? Either way, a unique patina and great coin! -Kurt Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 11:51 am great color and details. It looks a lot like "Syrian red" sand patina. Report this Post to the Staff
