[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 26303824, member: 134416"]I haven't done this in years, but I purchased a small lot of inexpensive, low-grade Byzantine coins. This was the nicest of the unsold lots, in my opinion, and the $2.75 per coin cost presented no risk. It might be relaxing to attribute them. I've already attributed some by the picture alone. I wish to find the DOC sub-groups for the A2 folles, which I've largely done already. There are no beauties in here, but they're BD-free. The coin under the Michael VII (the dark coin with a star) seems to be a Justin or Justinian I pre-reform follis. I was in a hurry this morning and forgot to pick out the M year 2 follis (top right) and flip it over, to see what it is. The Constans II coins will probably be the toughest to attribute. Most of these are darker in person. [ATTACH=full]1679367[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
