Between the poor strike on the obverse and the damage across the obverse, it is not worth much. As I said, its for the bargin bin. I would grade...
Not possible since the legend is off-flan. There were several emperors who had the same type of reverse and hence it will be difficult to...
Its a Byzantine Half Follis, but other than that, the obverse is pretty much gone to give you a definitive identification. Here is the correct...
It probably is as the seller is a notorious fake coin peddler. The worst part of it is that this particular type is not that expensive...
Why did you create two threads? Bulgaria: Ivan Aleksandar (1331–1371) Æ Trachy (Raduchev & Zhekov Type 1.13.23-29) a type that is currently not...
Mods, please delete the whole thread...
Seems to be the same type as Zeno #192020: [IMG]
Here is one from the lot that I was able to identify: Pseudo-Byzantine: Anonymous (ca. 640-670) Æ Follis, Syria/Palenstine (Goodwin Type H; cf....
Thanks @Black Friar. This should keep me busy for a while. I am going to try to hunt down these sources. Might be worth taking a trip to the...

That is my thinking as well, but I am not sure either. Not an expert on these coins and without proper resources, it makes it even harder :(
Thanks David for spending the time to look for a match. These coins should be uploaded to Zeno for further analysis as there might be some gems...
Probably a more accurate nomenclature is required here. These are called Pseudo-Byzantine coins and were issued as an intermediary coinage to...
Thanks! I really like your coin as well. Kudos for the fact that it was mentioned in that article. I reckon that is the case. What a collector...
Excellent coin with an excellent write up. For the benefit of everyone, the article is posted in Vol. 16, no. 10 of the Celator which can be...
Picked up a small lot of Byzantine and Arab-Byzantine coins and I have been trying to classify them. Unfortunately, I don't have Foss nor...
Picked up this poor ducale that was neglected after its sibling went for above 800EUR in the last auction. Since I was severely overbid on its...
Now we are getting close to the ridiculous. This particular one seems to have been issued during latter period of the Empire, before its demise....
