I picked up an interesting coin and a few weights from the last Zeus auction. (I thought of adding this @panzerman 's recent Zeus post... Zeus Numismatics????? | Coin Talk). The seller's description: Byzantine Coins Ae, Anonymous, Bust of Jesus, 7th - 13th CenturiesThe picture and description do not match. Are there any anon follis with writing on both sides? The left pic above looks like a coin sold by CNG... I do not know if the seller's pic does not match the coin or there is a coin with writing on both sides. I will update this when (if) the coin arrives. My reason for posting now is an email I received from Zeus today: "We came a cross problem with paypal payments, we are not able to collect the payments." Money went to them (per PP) from my account on 12/12 and came back today 12/20. Did anyone else have this problem?
It’s an overstrike, with a romanus iii overstruck on an earlier coin, but the obverse portrait didn’t get struck well..
On the left there is an upside down reverse on an anonymous follis class A and on the right side there is the reverse of an anonymous follis class B. Most probably an overstrike class B over class A, where the obverse was poorly struck. Interesting.
Your Paypal account will have a record of the payment to Zeus. You should be okay at your end. It sounds as if they have an issue with PP, but that's their problem. You should be okay.
I have to pay them to get the coin. PayPal has refunded my money. They say a link to pay by cc should be available soon.
