[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 8323948, member: 95174"]Sometimes it takes days , weeks, months to figure out a late Eastern Roman ( Byzantine) coin, it is a different type of collecting, most collectors who collect Eastern Roman coins started off with Roman Imperial, figure out the legends and of course the rulers, these coins take the puzzle a step further trying to attribute a coin with less information. The 12th century coins are easier, they can be nicely struck and legends intact. the 13th and 14th century coins have so many types, so many combinations of dies, and many if not most are partially struck. The best way to compare the different type of collectors of ancients is with art. Literal art is and always has been the most popular with the world ( e.g. Kincaid.),all information is there to be seen.
