Heres a new batch which arrived. I paid £4.50 for the Constantine and then the guy offered 3 more coins to make it an even £10. Cant refuse a deal like that!
Heres the first, Constantine I:
Constantine I
CONSTA-NTINVS AVG
BEATA TRAN-QVILLITAS VO - TIS - XX

RIC VII Trier 368

Beautiful...lovely to hold and turn over. The copper is a nice orange and shines when you hold it.
Heres the other batch:
Constantius II
FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C
GLORI-A EXER-CITVS
Thessalonica
RIC VII Thessalonica 200

330-348 ACE
Lovely patina, seems to be one which has been above ground a while - I think its been in PVC. Rated Rare!
Unknown Emperor
GLORIA EXERCITVS
Constantinople (CONSH-)
This one is one I think has been above ground a while too - I'm not sure if its worth trying to clean it.
Crispus
FL IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES
SOLI INVIC-TO COMITI
PLN (London Mint!)
S P
RIC VII London 113
R5

Holy cow! An R5! Draped - cuirassed, crispus, its the full deal!
Well, sucks for the other guy, its an R4 now! And its definitely draped. Even if it wasnt, its still an R4. Gosh!
The guy even gave me a free aussie cent!
