My favorite slab is the one by ICUP. :-D
Keep trying! I'll close the contest Sunday and give a step by step of how to attribute this one.
THe capitol of his empire was not Rome. :-D There's your hint! I'll help you more when you PM with a vague guess. Lol.
This is the closest ID possible Anonymous follis, Class B Romanus III or Michael IV, 1028-1041 AD, Constantinople mint Obv description: Christ,...
That would be anonymous folles. I got reamed out on another forum for pluralizing it wrong - I don't want the same to happen to others!
There is no set definition. It pretty much goes by culture. The later Byzantine coins are included only because of their connection to the earlier...
$6 is a perfectly reasonable price on a follis such as this! A decent buy, even. I'll take a closer look tommorow to get you a more accurate...

Here's the recipe for success www.cointalk.org + www.ebay.com = good coins! NOTE: The cointalk part is essential!
TPG's are irrelevant in this scenario - he only wants bullion. As far as gold goes, I'll give you the same tip I give to bad waiters, "Buy low,...
Looks like Crawford 314/1b, Sydenham 577. Great find! It really puts how long these coins circulated into perspective. This piece was minted in...
Severan denarii are always lovely, great purchase!
