My own upgrade. It's not hard to find nice coins of Constantine from most mints and with most reverses, but I happened across this Trier example and quite liked it -- it's got great surfaces, struck up well, and lovely color. Certainly the nicest SOLI INVICTO COMITI type I have and probably one of the nicest Constantines I have too.

Thanks to MartiVltori for the idea of posting upgrades.

Constantine I (310-313)
AE Follis. Treveri (Trier)
RIC VI Trier 868

This VLPP is a good example of what most of my others look like: decent, but rough.
