<p>[QUOTE="moneycostingmemoney, post: 2771480, member: 86367"][USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] that is a really nice coin. I have a fascination and new found love for ancient coins because of the history that is learned with each piece. Thank you to all in this section of the forum that give the history lesson with the coin. It makes the experience of collecting and sharing here more enjoyable for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recently purchased an uncleaned Byzantine piece and am giving it a week under water to help get more crud off of it. Hopefully it will have some markings left on it. It has a thimble like shape where the center is evenly raised as if it had been struck by a rod. Is it common to find pieces like this? Or is this an actual type identifiable by its shape? I wish I had a picture from the side to show the concave shape, but this is what I have with me. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]639205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]639206[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
