[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 981765, member: 26302"]I would liken this to both Byzantine coins and of Central Asian coins that proceded yours. I have a mini collection of Chach and Sogdian coins and it is very similar. I have multiple copies of some simply because I need three coins to see the entire design. Both with Byzantine and Central Asian complete copies are out there, but extremely scarce. I personally do not mind this, it makes putting together a collection kind of a jigsaw puzzle! I have not gotten into coins covered by Tye but your post makes me want to start looking at them harder. As for grading, for all ancients/medieval I grade the details and note the deficiency, such as VG - weak strike 10 o'clock, or F - granular just for my own sake so I know what I am looking at. I am sure that there are some issues that do not grade better than F in existence. This is what I love about our hobby versus more modern coins where MS is common, for a price. Edit: BTW Acanthite, yours is quite excellent, best I have ever seen, though I admit I am not an expert.[/QUOTE]
