ok, this one I can't figure out. the only coins of the type that are constantine (
IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINVS PF AVG) that have an I in the right field according to helvetica's spreadsheet should have a ANT antioch mint mark, this one has an skm cyzicus mint mark...am I correct? need some help from one the hardcore coiners here.

never noticed the mustache before!

Guess I'm a bit late to reply here (just found this post by Google search), but this would be RIC VII Cyzicus 5, from officina "I".

Do you still have the coin?

Welcome SpinyNorman. Wow, this thread is almost as old as the coin you write about. FYI, Chris doesn't frequent the board much these days - but you never know. Perhaps he'll show up.
