Herewith another attempt at identifying one of my Roman coins. I believe this is (according to the romaincoin.info) Constantine Jr, based on the CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C legend. The reverse is the Glory of the Army (GLORIA EXERCITVS). 2.1g, 17mm.

Looks good to me. The mint mark is intact too - if that first letter is readable, then you can get a full ID. If you find it on Wildwinds, the listing will come with an RIC # to reference it to.

Hi Ben, my scanner does not show all the details, so I will take pics from now on. The mintmark is SLG, but I can't figure out which one of the three SLG mintmark coins this one is.

Helvetica (google 'Helvetica RIC Lists' and look for a domain called Catbikes, they have a series of excel lists which are a lot more comprehensive than Wildwinds but do not cover every emperor and type and are a bit harder to use - they tend to have everything listed in RIC) lists 5 mintmark varieties for this type:

SLG (RIC VII Lyons 238), dot SLG (244), dot in crescent SLG (254), star SLG (263) and palm branch SLG (268).

I reckon it is probably clear enough in hand to make a guess. I doubt it is SLG alone, based on the centering of the letters. Wildwinds has images for palm branch-PLG and dot in crescent-PLG, so you can use those to compare to this one. The distinction between star and dot should be visible in hand at this level of preservation too.
