Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3005837, member: 19463"]Anastasius.  Arcadius was an earlier Roman Emperor.  It is interesting that you both have the same coin with weakness in the A under the large M. I recently upgraded my similar coin with one from workshop five (E is the Greek numeral for 5).  [ATTACH=full]744702[/ATTACH] My previous coin now belongs to someone else here. Like the first two, it was weakly struck on the area of the workshop letter under the M.  This is common on large bronzes which required quite a bit of force if all detail was to be transferred. [ATTACH=full]744703[/ATTACH] This link will show a number of coins with differing striking issues.  Coins like ours are common but there are a few with all the die detail.  Considering the striking and wear seen most often, the almost perfect coins are rare.  Those who want 'full attributions' can copy numbers from many of these dealers as long as you select a coin matching yours to the degree . Note officina (workshop) A used a very Byzantine type style A much like the one shown ro's completely different coin.  <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=anastasius+follis+19&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&currency=usd&thesaurus=1&order=4&company=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=anastasius+follis+19&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&currency=usd&thesaurus=1&order=4&company=" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=anastasius+follis+19&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&currency=usd&thesaurus=1&order=4&company=</a>[/QUOTE]
