<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 6234523, member: 26430&quot;]Thank you for this thread and for everyone who shared the other examples. I noticed these as I&#039;ve been looking for some Justinian Folles (or other denominations) to build up my dated coins of Justinian and <a href="https://conservatoricoins.com/showcase-coin-justinian-plague-follis-constantinople-540-1-ad/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://conservatoricoins.com/showcase-coin-justinian-plague-follis-constantinople-540-1-ad/" rel="nofollow">my &quot;Plague Coinage&quot; collection</a> (specifically, I need a Carthage YR 14 and Constantinople YR 15, but I&#039;ve come to like all the big &#039;uns).</p><p><br /></p><p>I registered something different (the rev. letters, esp. M looked too spindly?) but the scary thing is my brain reacted with &quot;hmmm, that&#039;s interesting, better put them on my watch list and come back later,&quot; not &quot;sumthinz wrong with those&quot;!</p><p><br /></p><p>Scary that there may be two at once on Biddr! It doesn&#039;t terribly surprise me. Savoca lists so many coins they can&#039;t be thorough on all of them, but the responsibility in that case rests with them to rely on people send in such messages &amp; withdraw when notified. Zeus (and their &quot;sister firm(s)&quot;) are rather careless (it&#039;s actually why I bid there, I&#039;ve grabbed a couple rarities misattributed as common coins). </p><p><br /></p><p>But that&#039;s why the internet/search engines (and, now, image recognition) are our friend, plus a bit of research. These come to light. Just hopefully not before we buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Luckily these two are from sources I trust (so far!): (1) Year 14/CON, 39mm, Ex-Ancient &amp; Medieval Coins Canada via [USER=87080]@TheRed[/USER] (who may have posted it here) via FORVM; and (2) Year 12/CON, 45mm, from Kölner Münzkabinett (group lot):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1246654[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1246655[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
