That is an awesome pic @Jay GT4. The museum provided the gig for you or did you create that yourself? Here is another dinar... Serbia: Stefan...
Thanks. There is still a lot of coins that I have to attribute properly, but you can see the full run here:...
Since you asked ;). I acquired about 130 Byzantine coins in 2017 and that doesn't include the lots I mentioned in an earlier thread. These are...
And this one: Ancient Judaea, Herodian Kingdom: Herod I (40 BCE-4 CE) Æ 8 Prutot, Uncertain mint in Samaria, RY 3 (Hendin 1169; TJC 44) Obv:...
That is a nice strike on that follis! I am still missing a few coins from Michael II that I am looking for. But, 2017 was definitely the year of...
Here is another version of the same coin with better legends. This, unfortunately, is not my coin. You can click on the image for a much larger...
Thanks John. I spend a lot of time transcribing coins using unicode and I try to perfect it each time. There is some joy in deciphering the...

Well, I am going to post my top ten coins of 2017 in random order. Can't really decide on the order :rolleyes:, so here goes:...

Alrighty then, but I don't own it :p:D [img][img]...
Attribution is right: Byzantine Empire: Constantine X Ducas (1059-1067) Æ Follis, Constantinople (Sear-1853; DOC-8) Obv: +ЄMMA NOVHA; Nimbused...
Very nice! Trachys are sometimes really ugly when it gets rocked and socked. But that effect is cool. Kind of makes you wonder with all the...
@Theodosius: That is a very cool (and a bit freaky) overstrike! What are the chances for the moneyer to rotate it 180° for that to happen. These...
