<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8239303, member: 19463&quot;]TIF shows a prong mount bezel of the general type that once held this Theodosius II solidus.&nbsp; Note the four damage marks at 12, 3, 6 and 9.&nbsp; I prefer to believe that being in jewelry saved this coin from being melted as junk gold.&nbsp; I bought it years ago for what was then a little above melt value.&nbsp; It would be interesting to know why it went in and out of service and what the mount was like. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1450018[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
