Constantine I VIRTVS EXERCIT from Lyons...with horse
« on: April 23, 2016, 08:57:04 PM »
This coin is not listed in RIC, it should come after Lyons 102. Lech has a page on this type with this example already listed at the bottom as other specimen.

I find it interesting that it has been bought and sold so often recently, each time with a price increase.

1.   sold on Aureo & Calicó 270 Mail Coin Auction (lot 355) in September 2015 for EUR 320
2.   Harlan J. Berk Buy or Bid Sale 196 (lot 264) December 2015 for $500
3.   Listed on Vcoins on 4/22/2016 for $625
