<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1321268, member: 26302&quot;]I never said the Ostia was anywhere near the quality of your coin sir. That would be well into 5 figures, maybe six. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The example I almost pulled the trigger on was more F with a couple of problems. It was just the historical value of the coin, as well as how famous it is, almost led me to buy it even though that is not my specialty. I don&#039;t really collect these coins, but sometimes the story of a coin, such as yours, simply attracts a collector regardless. What got me started in Byzantines was the Anonymous bronzes, and the fact that almost all of the artwork portrayed on them are now lost to history and these coins are our only view of these very famous paintings in the Byzantine world. Because of that I bought the entire series. If I run across another Lighthouse portrayal in my price range I may have to buy it on principal. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
