Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 5:50 pm I succumbed once again to temptation. I found these two coins being sold from a dealer I have bought several coins from in the past. I was able to get them at what I consider a decent price, especially if you check the prices for the same coins on acsearch. The first coin is a Constans RIC VIII 224, struck at Siscia in 348-350 AD: OBV: D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust left, holding globe in right. REV: FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Constans standing left holding chi-rho banner in right and resting left on shield, two bound captives wearing Phrygian helmets standing to left, ASIS in ex The second coin is Constantius II RIC VIII 243, struck at Siscia in 348-350 AD: OBV: DN CONSTANTIVS PF AVG, pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right REV: FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Emperor holding labarum and phoenix, standing on galley piloted by Victory. Mintmark BSIS (symbol like a retrograde R) I am making my VOTA XXX to lay off buying for a while (maybe) Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 7:37 pm Nice finds, don't see many left facing bust with the two captives. I don't have one. The Cons II with the Pheonix rather than victory is also all not that common. Report this Post to the Staff
