This was the coin I was after out of the three. It is around 9g 19mm.

I am hoping that this is real, if it is I will be over the moon, if it is a fake I will still be pleased for less than £4.

It seems to have a tiny touch of BD which gives me hope that it is real. It might clean up a little bit, but it will have to wait until I get back from India. Unable to see any sign of pellets and the eagle does look a bit like an oven ready turkey. Your opinions please?

Looks to be the real deal. I see no signs of casting very nice coin. Joseph

Not a bad coin at all. I've seen much worse examples sell for much more. I should be so lucky to find one like this for what you paid.

That's a spectacular price for a coin this scarce. Heckler for £4 you can barely buy a regular bronze Constantine I these days. The bit is a bit weird but that is tomb expected-- the ancients didn't exactly have machine operated mints.

Wow! That's a nice coin. Do you already know what the attribution is for it?

Ah Chris, maybe some day!

No I don't know the attribution. Not found a match online, I found an image that has a mussel in right field, mine seems to have a mussel within the claws. No sign of pellets as yet. It is driving me mad!
