I just saw this coin in a lot and thought that I would post it. Besides being rare (r5 in RIC) it has the cryptogram in the mintmark. If you are unfamiliar with the Eros mintmark, here is my page- http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/ROMAE/

The seller would not ship to the US, so somebody got a good deal...the lot sold for 25 euros. Below are the original pictures.
