I am really curious to see a follis worth 400 USD. Vcoins should be fine for authenticity. Post a photo. Cornholio - that is correct, follis of...
...RP A.. legend is also for Heraclius, not only for Phocas. Phocas did not strike large M in Constantinopole; at a quick search, he only made one...
I am no expert in this type of coins, but it writes "QV" at the right of the figure on the obverse, making that figure Mary, not Jesus. The coin...
I went to Trier to see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trier_Gold_Hoard The hoard is displayed like in the Wikipedia photo. There is an...
Congratulations for the coin. I did not know you are into Domna provincials too. I am probably one of the few on this forum who ever been to...

To develop on this: the only uncleaned i got that i had the feeling i could find anything were the ones from @Suarez (dirtyoldcoins). Anything,...
My Sear-1921. At 4.11 grams, i believe is the heaviest i've read about.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Saw no decent uncleaned out there lately. I expect that none will sell above purchase price.
You could consider a tetarteron - Sear 1929 and 1931 have a portrait, a more interesting (for me) design, are not rare and you might find a good...
This is the last follis minted; no more of this denomination was minted afterwards. It is interesting because of this. Is not rare and not...
