    I'm not a big fan of Byzantine coins, but these three, especially 1 and 2, look pretty good.

    Thanks and glad you enjoy my new acquisitions :smile

    It's not in hand yet, but I know that you already know more or less the typical weight/size and feel of Byzantine folles ;) After all, you have that spectacular-looking Justinian follis :eek:
