NG75 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 5:25 pm Hello, I bought some uncleaned coins and need some help identifying them. Here are two that have some details. I am really interested in finding out more about the first one, the second one I believe is Constantine III (?). I'm still new to this so I appreciate any help I can get - Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 5:42 pm The first is a byzantine and I'm the last persont o go for for that. Second isn't constantine III, who is innnncredibly rare and valuable (and didnt mint this type and was ages after this period), but I understand the confusion (I did that sort of thing as a newbie). If you read the remaining side (the useful side, luckily) you'll see the text DN VALENTINIA-. This means this coin was minted by Valentinian. While I cant be sure of the full id, I can hazard a guess. Valentinian I Obverse: DN VALENTINI-ANVS PF AVG Reverse: GLORIA RO-MANORVM Mint mark: D Gamma SISC Right Field: star over A Mint City: Siscia RIC Reference: RIC IX Siscia 5a Rated: c (common) Size: AE3 Date:364-367 The only thing variable in that is the mint mark, the rest is true.
