[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2260547, member: 19463"]Of all specialties, Byzantine is one OCD complete freaks should avoid. There are way too many unique coins that you will never see let alone own.

Also it is a bad place for those who require their rulers to be high minded and pleasant. Byzantine history is...well...Byzantine. Those who refuse to buy random examples that come your way might start with a denomination or type or mint set but coins that cover a thousand years are never going to be easy to fit in your 'one per' desires. Here is my set (minus the middles): Anastasius (first) [ATTACH=full]448741[/ATTACH] John VIII (next to last) - someone show their Constantine XI [ATTACH=full]448742[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
