[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8261655, member: 134416"]Congrats, Ksorbo, the follis of Justinian is very nice! Nice patina, Mat and I wish double likes were an option on Quant.Geek's. Very nice.. Quant Geek; do you think the second one shows weight gain or is that a quirk of the engraver in charge of that one? My Ravenna is decrepit but shows a thinner Justinian. I'll go a slightly different route and offer a decrepit (but look at the Sear plate coin, these are usually decrepit) Follis of Ravenna. I'm happy with decrepit in this case. This issue is unobtanium and was a bucket list want for me. I love Ravenna mint coins! A Ravenna solidus with an annular border is a double bucket list want.
