[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 3215244, member: 21705"]I have chosen to make my own thread following my experience as I expand into the world of Ancient Coins. My numerous questions and observations would quickly disrupt the nature of and flow of threads not devoted to this endeavor. I bought several bulk lots just to test the waters. I will post the individual coins by number here to keep them straight. Coin #1 [ATTACH=full]835901[/ATTACH] This is approximately 29 mm in diameter and has been clipped on two or three sides. It appears to be copper or bronze, weighs 199.8 grains and I've been told is likely a Byzantine Follis. Additional identification is a work in progress. I'm zeroing in on the last two letter on the right which appear to be A and C (or maybe r). So far, I haven't found a match with most lettering having the letters A V C (A V r).
