<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Friar, post: 4008431, member: 76221&quot;]Been here NYC since Thursday, will be flying home tomorrow.&nbsp; Had a wonderful time seeing a lot of my dealer friends most I&#039;ve know for over twenty years.&nbsp; I purchased some really fun stuff of the Byzantine variety.&nbsp; Sorry, I don&#039;t have any photo&#039;s yet but I&#039;ll work on that when I got home.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a founding member of the ADBC, a Byzantine Coin club founded at the ANA National Money Show held in Portland, Oregon in 1998.&nbsp; We have our semi-annual</p><p>meeting at this show, as well at the Summer ANA show each year.&nbsp; We have about 30 members.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The meeting guest speaker gave a forty-minute talk.&nbsp; The subject was Byzantine scyphate coinage. Why that coinage arose as well as how the minting processed worked. I had heard him before on the same subject and he has expanded on the subject over the years.&nbsp; It was fantastic and very well attended.&nbsp; I&#039;ll try to update with info on the group when I get home and unwind a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the term scyphate comes from the Greek work for a drinking cup called a &quot;schyphus&quot;.&nbsp; My Greek is non existent so I Anglicised it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
