<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2531448, member: 19463&quot;]About a year ago a favorite dealer had two very nice Byzantine silver coins and I was completely lacking in anything similar to them.&nbsp; The cheaper was $350 and the nicer twice that.&nbsp; I could not convince myself I was that interested.&nbsp; Friday another dealer had a lesser example of the lesser type for a much, much lower price.&nbsp; Realizing that I was unlikely to find one any better at a price I would accept, I bought it.&nbsp; The coin has a major fault.&nbsp; It has been clipped removing silver from the edges crowding a bit of the right side reverse legend and has a bit of wear.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]541124[/ATTACH] </p><p>John I Tzmisces 969-976 AD AR miliaresion</p><p>portrait of John on globe in center of cross crosslet</p><p>+ IhSUS XRI STUS ҺICA *around and&nbsp; IШ - AҺ inside circle /</p><p>&nbsp;+ IШAҺҺ’/ЄҺ XШ AVTO/CRAT, ЄVSЄЬ’/ЬASILЄVS/RШMAIШ&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>Show your Byzantine silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
