<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3733169, member: 44316&quot;]In August 2018 I started a thread </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/byzantine-anonymous-folles.322682/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/byzantine-anonymous-folles.322682/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/byzantine-anonymous-folles.322682/</a></p><p>announcing my web site on Byzantine anonymous folles</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ByzAnon/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ByzAnon/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ByzAnon/</a></p><p>The many responses helped me improve it. I recently got a nice follis of Class A2 which I will add to the Class A page:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000959[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is usually attributed to Basil II (the Bulgar slayer) and Constantine VIII, 979-1028.</p><p>Sear 1813.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the Forum table of ornaments on Class A2 folles:</p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Anonymous%20Byzantine%20Class%20A%20Folles" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Anonymous%20Byzantine%20Class%20A%20Folles" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Anonymous Byzantine Class A Folles</a></p><p>it seems to be &quot;F1c&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Compare my photo which is almost exactly like the coin (which I am holding up to the computer screen now) with the seller&#039;s photo:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000966[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The seller&#039;s photo shows the detail better, but makes the coin look &quot;dry&quot; and lighter colored than it is. It actually has a dark glossy surface which does not look dry in hand. When you acquire a coin, be sure to compare the coin to the photo. You can learn a lot about how that seller&#039;s photographs represent coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I solicit responses of two types:&nbsp; </p><p>1)&nbsp; recent anonymous folles</p><p>2)&nbsp; pairs of photos comparing a seller&#039;s photo to your own photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
