I was fortunate to be a winner of a CTF Giveaway, and the coins arrived this morning. These are awesome, and since the Mercury Dime is my favorite coin, it was wonderful to see one arrive! Many thanks to Randy for his generosity, and LordMac for leading this. also, I look forward to research and learn more about this Byzantine Gospels coin. again, thank you!
What do you need help with? You need to start your own thread with Pics of the coin in question. Start in the correct forum ( Errors, What's it worth etc...). Welcome to CoinTalk!
NO.. Never the What's it worth forum! Many times, new collectors post there thinking they have a valuable mint error and usually it's just a damaged coin.
Per dimedude2 and the Class B, post a question in the ancients section, or post one at Numisforums, which specializes in ancients, and you'll get even more. Oh, and on youtube look up 'Classical Numismatics'. I think he might have done a video on the anonymous folles. He did a recent video on Byzantine coins in general. It's certainly a nice freebie. I think I might only have one or two Class B's. The type isn't rare, but I haven't really collected the anonymous types until recently.
Hold on - I just want to do historical research on the Byzantine coin, and just sharing and thanking for the package. I care more about learning than the value.
Indeed. The Totalus Rankium podcasts extend to the Byzantine era. They have a podcast about Romanus III. I don't think one will be able to tell the undertype from this coin but another point of interest and learning is what it's overstruck on. The youtube Classical Numismatics video also has a good overview of Byzantine coins. Both are an excellent way to learn.
