http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=713289 I ran across this Maurice with DN TIBER AVR PP AV making the point that anything goes. I regret...
I do note that there are Maurice coins with TIB followed by Mau but I failed to find one with TIB followed by CON that was not given to Tiberius...
There might be more to this than we realize. I know Maurice legends are a mess so he may have issued coins with the previous reign legends. That...
I agree there is no cornucopia. Now I need to find other coins of this die to see what is going on. Worn? Tooled??? Correct. CNG called...
No. Full price sellers charge, rightly, for their services. Most employ specialists of considerable ability and some of them make more than...
Also I paid for this by Paypal at 10:26 AM PST on February 14th. It arrived at 12:30 PM EST February 15th. Way to go Post Office!
Patient tightwad here. Play only if you wish. Today the mailman brought my latest eBay purchase. It was misidentified in the listing so I'll...
Patient tightwad here. My Philip tetradrachm was bought in January 2014. It is worth more than my $51 but not $200 (remember these guys charge...

While I like Christian's suggestion to donate it to charity, you might also find a friend who would like them. I'm retired and know several other...
As I understood it the Vota mules were later, after Constantine II died, increasing weight on the theory that, for some reason the mint had Urbs...
Theories: 1. The mint was producing both types at the same time, mixing up die pairings would be easy. There are examples of rare pairings...
Akragas seemed to have a lot of trouble with cracks. I believe this hemilitron cracked on the first striking rather than on the countermark....
I have not seen Millenium Sear for this period but his pattern has been to ignore mintmarks let alone dots so I would expect all coins shown above...
I missed why the crack struck you as questionable. Crack! [ATTACH]
Steve's is the best of these I can recall seeing. Notice the K next to Constantine. I have seen coins with Leo spelled out on the right but...
I believe the coin should remain with its current owner. He likes it at least twice as well as I do. For $90, I'd want either better surfaces...
Congratulations. It is a winner. Keep working on the photo until you are happy with the results.
