hi all,

I think the mint mark is a CONSH, but I'm not sure about that last letter. On the overse I can make out that the lettering begins with C, no not Constans for this type, and I think it end end AVG, so that would be..

Constantine I CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG
GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS
CONSH o on banners Constantinople
RIC VII Constantinople 59 r2 330-335 AD
Am I ok on this or not so much? not very confident about that attribution.

Thanks!

thanks guys, no secret really, this coin was just "cooporative" and had some good details under the grime. distilled water, toothpick, and needle, several picking session over 3-4 weeks. wish they all came out this good.
