<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2479009, member: 19463&quot;]I passed on that one because I have the fourrees that I need.&nbsp; I was really into them 25-30 years ago when most people thought they were absolute trash.&nbsp; My best is special to me because of the way the copper highlights the gold. Many of mine came from the collection of Grant Edwards who was by profession a metallurgist and introduced me to the idea of technical collecting.&nbsp; His better coins were sent to some high end auction but I got a chance at some of his Roman and Byzantine junk that they did not want. I wonder what happened to his Greek fourrees.&nbsp; The dealers who would have nothing to do with his Romans were able to take his Greeks. </p><p><br /></p><p>Basil II and Constantine VIII ex.
