Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 12:03 am I bought this coin as Constantine I, but I cannot work out the legends, to get a RIC number. On the Obv. I get IMP CONSTANTIN(?)TANAVG which doesn't make sense, and on the Rev. - well, my eyes just start to 'water'. Does anyone have any (helpful) ideas, please?

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 12:26 am Thanks, F.R. I 'guessed' the PF but I couldn't see it in the letters I saw, but it was the only one that would fit. The Rev. Well, I didn't have a clue. Thanks very much for the help. He has a 'mate', but I will have a go at him, tomorrow, and if I have trouble I will post him then. Thanks again, Report this Post to the Staff
