Very sharp...I have a few ex DiMarzio also.

Nice one!

I have a similar one, also with some silvering left.
Ex di Marzio collection.

ex 1954 Appleford Hoard. It still has lots of silvering.

I updated my London page

https://constantinethegreatcoins.com/London/

I went through all my trays and sorted them earliest to latest and checked each coin against my website. I had several that I sold and deleted them, I found a few duplicates and removed them unless there was something special. I even found one coin in my trays that I had forgot to add to my site



Constantine I
A.D. 312- 313
22mm     4.7g
CONSTANTINVS P AVG; laureate helmet and cuirassed bust left with spear over shoulder and shield on left arm.
PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS; Prince standing right, head right, cloak behind, holding tranverse spear in right, globe in left; ✶in left field.
In ex. PLN
RIC VI London 267; LMCC 7.011.011

IMP C M Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG; Radiate, draped, cuirassed bust right, seen from behind.

Interesting to see the relative numbers of London SARMATIA DEVICTA (for Constantine I) vs VOT X (for Crispus and Constantine II) - 48/144/175. The hoard seems large enough, and straddles this time period, that I assume these are reflective of relative quantities in which they were made. Poor dad getting no respect.

It's also notable that while coins from this "PLON u" ( SARM. DEV/VOT X) issue are common in the hoard, there are none from the following (unlisted in RIC) "PLON u dot" one, confirming that this must have been a very low volume issue.
