I usually won't get a coin without a clear mint mark, but I made an exception for this one. 15mm, 1.5g

Doucet, Love the shape, what could have cut, broke, made that coin over 1700 yrs look like that, what a story it could tell...  ...very cool...

Love that patina. Is this your pic or the sellers? I was just wondering how close the image is to the actual color of the coin. The broken edge gives it character IMHO.

The pictures are mine. They're pretty close to the actual color of the the coin.
I only posted one coin coin with the sellers pic, and it was the only coin I never received, so now I'm gun shy about posting a picture before I get the coin ?
The break looks to be as old as the rest of the coin. Maybe it was a faulty flan, I don't know.
I don't have the RIC.... is a PCON listed with an X in the l. field?

I don't see one listed in Helvetica's. I will check RIC tomorrow unless someone finds it first.

I must be overlooking it, but I can't find it. I can find PCONST with an X in the left field, but not a PCON

I can't find it either, the reverse looks rather crude I wonder if this could be a Barb?

I don't think it's a barb, It looks too good IMHO. But perhaps it's just not listed in RIC (wouldn't be the first time).

Thanks for looking that up you guys.
I got this because I didn't have a PCON mint mark yet. I just wish the P was clearly on the flan. The fact that X is in the field is just a little extra I guess.
Thanks again.
