Ambro Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 7:35 pm I Bought this stack of fused Roman Coins a number of years ago as a green blob. Cleaned the front and back coins-not expecting much as there were no details visable- to reveal Constantine and Galeria Valeria (the coolest name ever). There is a coin of Maximinus trapped in the middle. Just wanted to share a neat piece. Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 9:18 pm Check again and see if you don't agree that the bottom coin is Constantius I, father of Constantine? Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 9:37 pm I love the coins, but is there no way to separate them? What a shame to see such nice coins just in a big lump IMHO. BTW that a nice obverse of the Galeria Valeria. Report this Post to the Staff
Ambro Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 9:54 pm Dougsmit; Thanks for the Id--all the Constantines have always confused me. I bought this stack and a stack of Four AE3's that I tried to seperate after a long soak and it broke to pieces so I decided to leave this one as is. Attached is a picture of both stacks as I bought them. Tim Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 12:53 am I doubt that if you were to be successful in separating the coins, you find any detail at all on the coins' interfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
Ambro Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 10:53 am Agreed---I will not try to seperate these--a good conversation piece at least. Report this Post to the Staff
