[QUOTE="chrsmat71, post: 2497074, member: 42634"]nice write up and coins MM! and nice to see some byzantine trachy coins..the rodney dangerfield of ancients... [IMG]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9_KrT0SES8c/Ttut0RVDCZI/AAAAAAAAAhE/itEXS_21yy4/s1600/norespect.jpg[/IMG] well, they are pretty ugly, and hard to ID (for me at least), so i kind of get why people aren't into them. here's one i picked up months ago i MAY have figured out. [B][COLOR=#ff0000]WARNING:[/COLOR][/B] very ugly coin...if you have small children, have them leave the room before you scroll down. [ATTACH=full]529330[/ATTACH] i have no idea if the obverse is oriented correctly. based on the tight flan, i'd guess this was a trachy of michael viii and andronicus ii. it's 19x21 mm and 1.4 g. anyone know if i'm right or not?[/QUOTE]
