[QUOTE="tibor, post: 25377516, member: 73385"]As most of you know, I collect pre 1500 A.D. dated coins. I've not had much luck lately winning in the auctions. Even bidding 3 and 4 times estimate has shut me out. I've started picking up Byzantine coins that have regnal dates. These are coins that have Roman numeral numbers indicating how many years into the Emperors reign they were struck. Most are under $50 and in decent shape. Here is one I won today. [ATTACH=full]1624697[/ATTACH] Maurice Tiberius 582-602 Follis 12.34g. Year 9 The 9 is figured as G=6 plus the three I. minted in Constantinople. 4th officina. The triangle symbol below the large "M" is I believe the Greek symbol for 4. Feel free to correct me, kinda new at this era of numismatics.
