I just won this group of coins. I like to think of lots like this, with almost no pictures of the coins, as "scratch and win" lottery tickets, as most times, you lose; but every now and then, you win.
auction description
Lot 2862. ROMAN EMPIRE: LOT of 91 Constantinian bronzes, mostly AE3's and AE4's, including Maximian (3 pcs), Maximinus II, Licinius I (9), Licinius II, Constantine I (19, including 4 of Londinium, three EF or AU with lovely patina), Constantinian commemoratives (10), Helena, Theodora, Crispus (2), Constantine II (2), Constans (6), Constantius II (19, including two majorinae with lovely brown patina: EF & VF-EF); average VF or better, quite a few examples EF or better with nice patina, most attributed on accompanying holders; plus a group of 17 worn, mostly unattributed small bronzes of little value; retail value $750, lot of 91 pieces.
if I get anything interesting, I will update this topic.

Fingers crossed! Is the estimated retail value that Steve Album provides for group lots realistic in your experience?

I have never bought a group lot from him before; but if he correctly described these, it seems close.

Well, I did my triage for the lot and 47 coins went into my junk pile. Lesson learned...don't buy these group lots from Stephen Album.
