[QUOTE="Black Friar, post: 7976655, member: 76221"]I haven't heard much about him lately. I contacted him twice about some scyphates I had acquired, as well as a very rare Constans follis from Cherson (S.1145c)I had acquired at a local coin show from a dealers large lot with about 100 coins. I purchased 5 coins for under $100. There was no image of the coin in Sear and I didn't find it in the non pick listing. I finally found a line drawing of it in Harlan Berks small book [I]Eastern Roman Succesors of the Sestertius. [/I]I checked with the ANS and spoke with William Metcalf to check if there was one ANS holdings. He confirmed there was indeed one there. He generously sent me a b&w Polaroid print of it. At that time he indicated only five were known. There is much more I could add to our conversation. Suffice it to say he didn't know who actually owned the others. A recent sale of the coin appeared and was sold. I love this community. We learn from others.[/QUOTE]
