<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 2239097, member: 74222&quot;]When I see what the dealers offer of Byzantine gold coins, called Solidus, later Histamenon, and later Hyperpyron, I think gold coins from the era of Justinian(about 530CE) until Constans II(about760CE) are the most common, and thus most affordable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually Hyperpyron from around 1260CE and onwards are also affordable, but these are hardly gold anymore due to debasement.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you went to numismatic stories to pay fixed price, I think the fixed price would be 330-450 Euro for that Solidus. Or at least, that is what I think is a fair fixed-price.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if you have patience to an auction, and make a (wise) bid few seconds before it closes in order to avoid tempting others to make a bid, then one probably could win one with a lower price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I won mine Heraclius in an auction with the hammerprice and fee of 290Euro:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]441379[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>On obverse some part of legends are gone or are less obvious, but Heraclius’ name is there, and as well is his face obvious. – On the reverse side the “VICTORIA”-letters are gone, but the reverse side was not important as the obverse side to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
