<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 3990375, member: 74799&quot;]Ditto.&nbsp; The MS labeling on these coins are really misleading.&nbsp; The best you can do is to see if you can get a good strike with several of the features showing, regardless of what NGC states.&nbsp; I was looking at those coins myself and was tempted, but decided to pass.&nbsp; There seems to be a few of these coming to light and I am going to wait a bit. Here is one of mine that I purchased a while ago:</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Byzantine Empire: Andronicus II Palaeologus with Michael IX (1295-1320) AV Hyperpyron, Thessalonica (Sear 2396v; Bendall 207.2) </b></p><p>Obv: Bust of the Virgin, orans, within city walls with six groups of towers </p><p>Rev: Christ standing facing, crowning Andronicus and Michael kneeling to either side</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-2396v.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
