When my mail arrived today, I received a surprise. One of the ebay sellers, with whom I have done a lot of business, sent me this gift. He said it was from his private collection. My images don't do it justice as it is truly a beauty. Constantine I AE3, RIC VII 215G, struck at Siscia 328-29 AD: OBV: CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG, diademed head right REV: PROVIDENTIAE AVGG, campgate with two turrets & no doors, star above, GSISdouble-crescent in ex. 3.3g, 19mm   Edited by Bing

I notice that the quality of the die cutting for the obverse is up there with the gold coins. Nice gift, and no doubt much appreciated.

Very nice portrait, one of the better busts that I've seen.

no doubt much appreciated. You have no idea. This particular seller has been very good to me over the past couple of years. Not only has he sold me coins at "wholesale" prices, but this is not the first gift coin he has sent to me. This seller does not deserve the bad rap that ebay sellers usually engender. |

I'm unsure of the value, but it is worth much more then I paid, eh? What do you think is the value?

Nice gift indeed!!
IMHO, I would say that a typical collector of this era/type would be willing to pay at least a bare minimum of $20US but more likely $30-40.
Cheers,

I would say with the amount of silver that remains it's at least a $30 coin.
