[QUOTE="sand, post: 7973390, member: 118540"]I'm no expert in this area. But I have looked at a lot of Jesus/Anonymous folles dealer listings. For the Jesus/Anonymous coins in the Pawn Stars video, David Vagi's estimate of $300 per coin, seems highly possible, to me. However, in the Pawn Stars video, the photos of the coins are low quality, so it is difficult for me, to really see, what their condition is. However, even with the low quality photos, the coins seem pretty nice, to me. The face of Jesus seems to be mostly there. The patina seems nice. David Vagi was able to hold the coins in his hands, and examine them. Like David Vagi said, and like [USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER] and [USER=80556]@David@PCC[/USER] and [USER=103515]@catadc[/USER] said above, Jesus/Anonymous folles in nice condition are few and far between. The value of a Jesus/Anonymous follis goes up quickly, for nice examples. I often see nice examples, in the $200 to $500 range. The [USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER] example is in excellent condition, and it seems to have a nice black patina. I agree with [USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER] that a dealer could perhaps sell it slabbed for $400 or more. Here's my example. [ATTACH=full]1383378[/ATTACH] Basil II or Constantine VIII 40 nummus AE follis. 1023 AD to 1028 AD. Constantinople mint. Class A3. Sear 1818. 28 mm. 9.27 grams.[/QUOTE]
