<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 1324881, member: 26430&quot;]Wow, I&#039;m very impressed. Nice historical information, but also a truly remarkable coin. I have a number of cup coins and find them very appealing, in general, but none are nearly as detailed as that one. (Generally, the Byzantine cup coins seemed the have the images focused on the center, and the &quot;outer cup&quot; left blank, no?) It&#039;s hard to know from frontal photos, but this one appears much &quot;less cupped&quot; than the usual Byzantine one. (That&#039;s another issue: I imagine at least some of them have been re-shaped before retail sale, since it wouldn&#039;t be hard to heat them up and press out the bent edges that I&#039;ve seen pretty often.) Very cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
