[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8314538, member: 134416"]I think it's a fine introduction, written by an accomplished collector. What are some of the main theories on why they were scyphate? -being stackable was the main one I've heard over the years. I have a few trachea, along with a mystery bag of perhaps 25-50 smaller trachea, none of which are photographed. When my coin photos become less horrendous I'd like to photograph the contents of the bag, purchased in the 1990s. Here's one photographed one from my collection (the dealer's description). [ATTACH=full]1472115[/ATTACH] John II, Comnenus. AD 1118-1143.. AV hyperpyron (30 mm, 4.39 gm). Thessalonica. Christ seated facing on throne with back. Rev: Facing figures of the Virgin and John. SB 1949. EF. Graffiti on reverse (ex JJencek, 2009).[/QUOTE]
