[QUOTE="Black Friar, post: 8235090, member: 76221"]The Constans was struck in Cherson. The Heraclian Revolt follis is of course Alexandretta. Viva Ukraine!!!!!! Years ago at University of Michigan I took a course in Russian History. The instructor Denis Papazian was the head of LS&A and received his Phd. from Moscow University. His family was from Azerbaijan. I guess it was like going into the lions den. I also took a ten hour course titled the History of Nazi Germany taught by a Jewish prof. He and his family fled Germany to the US in 1940. It was taught over 2 semesters, five hours each. Regarding the Constans, up to twenty or so years ago there were only five known. I got in touch with William Metcalf at the ANS. The ANS had one of those in their collection and he kindly sent me Polaroids, obverse and reverse. He didn't know where the others were and assumed they were in private collections. This is my hobby I do it for fun and am happy I have made contact with so many gracious and generous folks along the way. This group always makes me smile.[/QUOTE]
