Meteoritehunter New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 11:02 am Two soldiers with 1 banner. I found this coin in France yesterday, my first roman coin find. I know it is Constantine but can't find this coin anywhere. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 6:20 pm I think it's Constans, not Constantine. Obverse: Draped and cuirassed bust right, CONSTANS PFAVG Reverse: two soldiers flanking one standard, "I" on the standard, GLORI AEXER CITVS, (not sure about the mint mark) based on Tesorillo's excellent site: http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/030/030i.htm Edited by ThisIsFun 06/29/2013 6:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 8:36 pm I agree it's Constans with the mint mark of SARL for the Arles mint. It is RIC VIII Arles 55. Nice coin which is rated as rare. Report this Post to the Staff

Meteoritehunter New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/30/2013 01:59 am Any idea of value? Not that I would ever sell it but My wife needs to know that metal detecting is good:) Report this Post to the Staff
Meteoritehunter New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 06/30/2013 02:03 am I found this one beside the first. Reverse is so corroded or damaged There is nothing to be seen. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/30/2013 11:33 am Rare does not mean valuable it only means that a limited number of these coins have been recorded. In the condition your coin is in, which I would grade at fine. I'd say the value is $5 - $7.00. Report this Post to the Staff
