steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 4:43 pm Well, after a few days of cleaning and just getting into the Ancients a few days back, I have made my first discovery without assistance! LOL My Constantinus II, son of Constantine the Great (still some cleaning needed) Woohoo! Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 5:27 pm Does the obverse legend have something like "CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C" or "CONSTAN-TINVS AVG" ? Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 7:44 pm welcome to by far (IMHO) the most interesting area of coin collecting Report this Post to the Staff
steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 8:17 pm Thanks, everyone! I agree with bobby, but it is all a little overwhelming right now. But, every coin is like a treasure hunt. (I knew I should have paid more attention in history and mythology classes) LOL Report this Post to the Staff
steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 10:27 pm Masis: The Obverse is not as clear. It looks liket he final three letters are AVG. I have to hold the coin to the light, just right, to see the portrait. Report this Post to the Staff
