<p>[QUOTE="Milesofwho, post: 2937896, member: 91469"]This is a year 15 Follis of Justinian from the second oficina of the Constantinople mint. I was really interested when I found out it was from that period, courtesy of this great book.[ATTACH]714898[/ATTACH]</p><p>The coin is also ex-Goldberg, but as the listed lot on the ticket was two coins it does not give weights or diameter for them. I also do not know the location of the second coin. The best I can come up in terms of dimensions is 35mm for diameter and around 10-15 grams for the weight. If I ever get a scale I’ll actually weigh it. It remains one of my favorite Byzantines in terms of size and condition.[ATTACH=full]714899[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]714900[/ATTACH]P. S. Is this a good way to photograph coins? I’m not looking to picture the coin as if it were for sale so it seems alright in a casual way. I find that taking the photos this way provides a more “in hand” appearance, which is my main goal in taking the photograph.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
