Constantine I CONCORD MILIT from London
« on: August 23, 2016, 09:56:51 AM »
Here is another ex-Elberling coin, circa 1860

This coin is not listed in RIC with this bust type (CC). It should be listed after London 197. It is in Huvelin as #81. It is in the new London mint book as either 7.04.012 or 7.04.013, the difference being 12 is cuirassed and 13 is draped and cuirassed, with the question being “are all examples actually draped and cuirassed”. On this coin it is too worn to speculate.

And you know what you should not do when you have an old collection ticket/ holder like this one…write on it with red magic marker—especially when you have the wrong RIC number…153 is a COMITI reverse.
