[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 7883859, member: 95174"]Doug , I just know what SBCV noted forA1 average weight 7gm , small flans, no ornamentation and frequently overstruck Nicephorus I or Constantine VII. The whole series was in the study of Margaret Thompson in 1954, she was the one who originally alphabetical classified the series. I know A3 was created by Metcalf but one of his students disproved the theory. Here is another I found in a group lot, 5.5gm [ATTACH=full]1359715[/ATTACH] I also photographed an oddity similar to yours. I do not know what the over strike is on. [ATTACH=full]1359716[/ATTACH] Also I got a group lot from an old dealers lot. It contained many small anonymous follis but these two are the rare ones. Class H , my only example. [ATTACH=full]1359719[/ATTACH] Class J Alexius SBCV-1900 [ATTACH=full]1359721[/ATTACH] Not in great condition but still a nice find.[/QUOTE]
