Constantine I CONSERV VRB SVAE Ticinum mint
« on: February 12, 2013, 11:09:27 AM »
I trying to add to my collection this low grade but still nice specimen of RIC 93.

It is rated as "C" but i suspect it's rarer than that.  This is only the second one i have seen till now.
I don't know if i should waiting for a better one.

I don't remember exactly, but I think that it was less than $150.

Another comes out.
It looks well preserved, with clear details, green patina and costs 80€.

Well, i got it.

Good going. There have been a few coins that I regret not buying when I had a chance. Lesson learned is that if you want a coin, the time to buy it is when it is available.
