Silvered Campgate

I would imagine that a fully silvered example would cost $hundreds.

Unfortunately, there would be a great temptation for the unscrupulous to attempt silvering.
THAT would make me doubt the authenticity of such a piece, and lead me to make a rather disastrous judgment against it, it it were genuine.

Nevertheless I would be tempted to pay a considerable amount for a similar example to this, with more silvering.

I certainly like this one. Congratulations!

Well, this was only £1.50 but the guy set the postage at a ludicrous £3.50, so I paid £5. And yeah, it is odd - I've seen other silvered Constantine IIs and Is (theres a nice hoard of fully silvered ones making the rounds) - but they arent common. The design of this one is about midway and later in Constantine IIs reign, but ones of earlier style dont show any signs of silvering. Including the mint state ones I've got. Perhaps it wasnt done at the mint?

There might be silvering on the bricks of the campgate - I'm going to leave it in a long term bath when I get it.

Do not bathing the coin. is a slip silvered gate of rare type.
the cleaning of this is should be with a curtain buds and an dark oil wipe onto and then take off straight away. is very short type of coinage benyfield and the wash silver was made to type the emperor message of good. I am 72 years now and help with typing of many type and this type is one I do not see of in common. very good and also find provenance if can do for proof of origin is important to this coin ok
