TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 11:27 am Here is my next $10 nyinc that I believe to be authentic. It is my first Helmet coin! Constantine I, RIC VII 48 Constantine I AE3. IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG, laureate, helmeted & cuirased bust right / VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP, two Victories standing facing one another, together holding shield inscribed VOT/PR on altar, GSIS star in ex. 2.43 gr., 18mm NOT magnetic The wildwinds example show the coin as 3.06 grams but I think that is ok?

medoraman New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 4:19 pm I agree. The more unusual helmet is what really makes this stick out. Very nice purchase for $10. OP, I would not worry awfully much about late romans and forgeries. Once you get used to them, the forgeries of these stick out. Actually, most of the time any "forgery" is actually a barbaric issue, even cooler than official issues. :) Report this Post to the Staff
