Message:: [QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 8232491, member: 85693"]I do have a Phocas with an M, but no photo!  I'll try to get one when and if the sun comes out again.  Gold!  I wish.  My budget gets blown on junky cheap stuff, so I am never able to make that leap to the gold.  Someday, after I've developed some fiscal restraint.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But I just found another Heraclian mess - if I am reading it right, it is an overstrike on a Phocas overstruck on a Maurice Tiberius.  Or something like that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> [ATTACH=full]1447591[/ATTACH]Heraclius                      Æ Follisn.d.
