Constantine I PROVIDENTIAE AVGG from Arles

Here is a rare type that just sold for $889.39. Despite the rarity, I was surprised the price got so high. Below is the link to a topic about this type-

I had a 300$ bid on it but was sure I wasn't going to win. Was expecting it to go for around 1000$ after this VTILITAS (http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=1465&category=30660&lot=1323146) went for 1700EUR at Rauch.
