My uncle had a very random sack of coins and this was among them. Does anyone know what kind of coin it might be? Thanks for your expertise!

:welcome:
i don't think the images 'loaded' before you posted....
as you add the images, in the 'attach file', make sure you see the 'green checkmark' on the far right before you continue.

Roman Imperial Coin
348 - 350 A.D.
Constans Augusti

obverse: D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG
pearl-diademed (headband)
draped and cuirassed bust right (toga with clip)

reverse: FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("happy times restored")
Constans standing left in Galley
Labarum in left hand (stick with the square banner, should show a Chi-Rho when better shape)
Phoenix on globe in right hand
Victory (an angel) steering at stern

Bronze AE 3
RIC VIII
(I cannot make out the exurge mint mark. Looks like three letters, which could be one of about 6 mints)

Weight (To actually identify, I need to know the weight)
Maximum diameter (To actually identify, I need to know the diameter: size of a penny, nickel, or quarter?)
Die axis ???

This "type" is fairly common.

Value: $10-$25

Here's one in a little better shape... legends are still a bit difficult:
