As some CoinTalkers might know, I have had a string of bad luck with Class C Folles. Several of them got stolen in the mail, including the...
Another enigma...This particular coin came as unidentified. The so-called obverse seems to be similar to Sear 2368 but the reverse seems to be...
Here are a few more examples. Savoca does have some really nice gems that are usually mis-attributed. But, you also need to be careful as they...
There is a tendency for their coins to be lighter than what is shown on Biddr and Ebay. Its most likely due to the coins being a bit dark and...
I am surprised you were able to identify that if you bought it in as an unidentified trachy! Kudos!
Seems to be John and Alexius Asen Trachy, similar to mine below. I can make out a bit of the Virgin Mary/St. Demetrios, but the reverse is a bit...
Here is an interesting anonymous follis that I picked up. Its a Class B, or at least, it wants to be. Anyone have any opinion on this? Is it an...
Been so swapped lately between teaching, work, and family that I have very little time for anything else. Haven't posted anything in a while, but...
Going back to Zervos Type B-6 which isn't illustrated, @Valentinian sent me Morrisson's description of that coin with its ornaments: [ATTACH]...
I also picked up that book and its not too bad with his coin pics. Makes identification a bit easier for this time period!
Found another type - Zervos-B8 [ATTACH]
Thanks a lot! I wish there were some pictures as the some of the ornamentations are different.
I would love to see a clear picture! I want to document all these variations and I am sure there are more...
I tend to agree, but the minor variations are cheap to obtain . The B-2 type above was one that I have been searching for a while. Missed out on...
There has been two additional types that have been identified since I posted. Lets call this one Zervos-B7: [ATTACH] and one with corrupt...
Plate coin for Zervos B-3 showing a clearer central pellet: [ATTACH] and the plate coin for Zervos Bb, an imitation. The above picture got lost...
Another imitation that is different from the ones illustrated in DOC and Zervos: [ATTACH]
[IMG] with a central pellet, but I don't know if I would classify this as a Zervos B-3 or a common Zervos B-4d. A better specimen would clarify...
Zervos Type B-4c (not classified, but mentioned in paper) Obv: IC-XC to right and left of bust of Christ facing, with cross nimbus having a [IMG]...
The reason why I needed Bates and Morrisson was to verify some of the classifications that Zervos made. He references these two works to further...
