dwayne8625 Pillar of the Community United States 582 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 12:31 pm They are real and the right one is a Constantian commemorative coin... obverse D V CONSTANTINVS P T AVGG, veiled head right and the reverse is VN-MR, Constantine standing right. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 12:42 pm Very good grade for the VN-MR (VENERATIO MEMORIAE - Venerated Memory) one. The other is an illegible emperor (would need a better picture) - reverse GLORIA ROMANORVM (glory of the Romans) and shows the Emperor dragging a barbarian captive by its hair.

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 12:50 pm If you put it by itself, in good light and use a macro setting you should get a good picture. I'm currently messing about with some lenses and a camera phone to try getting good pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
