I just did! 4 Romans, two sestertii and one denarius of Antoninus Pius, and one denarius of Trajanus. I will sell some i think, and post the ones I will keep later. I have not received them.

 

There seems to be a recent hoard of Andronicus II Basilikon that hit the market the past few months. Several of them have been auctioned off on Numismatik Naumann and recently on Heritage Auctions as well as some of the other auction sites. The condition of the coins are actually in pretty good condition too. So, I picked up several of them. Each of the coins have slightly different legends and control marks. But to stay on topic, I just purchased this scarce variety on HA last night. It has Michael with a mustache:

Byzantine Empire: Andronicus II Palaeologus and Michael IX (1295-1320) AR Basilikon, Constantinople (Sear 2402; DOC V.534)

Obv: KVPIЄ-BOHΘЄI; Christ enthroned facing on backless throne, wearing nimbus cruciger, pallium and colobium, right hand raised in benediction, book of Gospels in left; IC-XC across fields; large dot below each elbow of Christ
