<p>[QUOTE="rad1964, post: 585570, member: 18557"]I find it hard to use these spreadsheets due to no pictures. For instance the Byzantium (3rd coin) I tried to ID that with the use of the spreadsheet. Best I could do is round it down, went to, <a href="http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/byzants-large-others.xls" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/byzants-large-others.xls" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: red">Byzantine coin type: All other large letters</span></a> and using the row filters, (I used left field - star) (right field - star) (mint mark - CON) it boiled down to 9 choices, (3) Justin I, Justin I/Justinian I, Justinian I, Justin II or (3) Maurice Tiberus. Next I looked at the way the bust faced. Straight on. That eliminates all but the 3 Maurice Tiberus. I can't read but 3 letters of the legend. They look like I, I, D... at least to me, thus eliminating all choices.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess: Maurice Tiberus 1 Decanummium</p><p><br /></p><p>yikes!</p><p>So the other 3 are not Byzantiums?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
