<p>[QUOTE="Quant.Geek, post: 3193393, member: 74799"]Sorry for joining late, but everyone has some nice coins here! The Classes H, I, and J are difficult to find in good condition where majority of the features are still present. So, you do end up with multiple versions of the same coin type. I was lucky to pick up this class H follis in my first try and its one of the best I have seen. I ended up getting multiple Class I and Class J folles. The order of condition of most specimens found are Class I, Class H, Class J ranked from better to worse. Class J is the worst in condition where most specimens are extremely worn...</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Byzantine Empire: Æ Anonymous Class H Follis, Attributed to Michael VII (1071-1078), Constantinople Mint (Sear-1880; DOC H.5) </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv: Facing bust of Christ Pantokrator</p><p>Rev: Patriarchal cross with globule and pellets at extremities, set on floral ornament </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-1880.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b> Byzantine Empire: Æ Anonymous Class I Follis, Attributed to Nicephorus III (Sear-1889, DOC I.1-64) </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b> </b> Obv: Facing bust of Christ Pantokrator</p><p>Rev: Latin cross with central X and globus and two pellets at the end of each extremity; crescents to upper left and right, floral scroll below </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-1889_01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/Sear-1889%282%29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-1889%284%29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Byzantine Empire: Æ Anonymous Class J Follis, Attributed to Alexius I Comnenus (Sear-1900; DOC J.1)</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: Bust of Christ Pantocrator facing, bearded, with cross behind head, wearing tunic and himation; right hand raised in blessing in sling of cloak, left clasps book to breast.
