lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 6:02 pm This is a nice item. Constantine II (CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C) AE3 with VIRTVS EXERCIT reverse, labarum bearing VOT X, between captives, from Siscia, officina epsilon; ESIS<star-in-crescent>. S in left field and F in right field above a ligatured HL. RIC VI 133. This has a very nice I-class obverse featuring the Victory on globe motif with the emperor holding a mappa/scepter in his left hand, wearing a laural wreath. In this example he appears to be cuirassed, and I do not see the draping, but it may be there. Nice piece. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 6:18 pm I agree a very nice example, with a little cleaning this will be a super coin. Was the coin found in a dig? Report this Post to the Staff
lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 6:42 pm If you do clean this coin I would not recommend removing the so-called "sand patina" which covers most of it. You might take a little off the letters it is covering, but don't take it off the main surfaces of the fields. Coins like this can disappoint you when they lose the contrast that the encrusted soil gives them. If you are not familiar with how to clean such a coin, you would do well to consult an expert. The method of choice for this one is a microscope and needle. Report this Post to the Staff
