Constantine I, SPES PVBLIC

I noticed this coin for sale from a reputable coin dealer. The style is odd for, above all the portrait.... it looks a coin from Siscia mint.

It look OK to me. Style is similar to this Vienna specimen.

The recut ones seem to normally have a characteristic narrow Chi-Rho, not this wide flattened style.

If you post it on FORVM, then Lars will probably comment.

since it is in an NGC slab, I would suspect it was OK.
