Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 5:45 pm I was involved in the bidding on this Constantius II camp-gate, but it got too rich for my blood. It's an unlisted bare-headed bust of RIC, Vol. VII, #158 from Nicomedia. There is a footnote in RIC mentioning an example with a bare-headed bust. I don't think I've ever seen this bust type on a Constantinian camp-gate. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPERB-FOLL...p=true&rt=nc There is an example on Beast Coins listed down the page under #158. http://www.beastcoins.com/RomanImpe...icomedia.htm You can see something new all the time when you collect ancients.

orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 6:32 pm Thanks for those links. That seller has some beautiful coins for sale. I do not collect LRBs or I might have bid on a number of them because of the condition. Sorry you missed out on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4964 Posts	Posted 05/07/2015 7:54 pm nice looking coin, but look at the final bid. to me, it's a nice looking kind of unusual campgate. I must be something much more than that to the bidders. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 05/07/2015 8:01 pm RIC knew of one example and Beast Coins has one example, so it must be a pretty rare type. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
