[QUOTE="Co1ns, post: 4617475, member: 87765"]So my lot of premium uncleaned coins arrived, I am very happy as the vast majority have way more detail than I was expecting from the sellers photo: [ATTACH=full]1143555[/ATTACH] There was actually only about 15 crusties in there and even those weren't that bad for crusties. This is the first coin that's really caught my eye, though I have no idea what it is and it may be quite common. The portrait on the obverse is facing, as with Byzantine issues, but I think this is from the late Roman period as per the rest of the lot, if not late Roman itself: [ATTACH=full]1143556[/ATTACH] I'm intrigued by the oval insignia on the bottom right ... an eagle? Crusader's cross? Is this part of the design or some kind of bankers mark? Here's the reverse, I can only make out "NCO" and then maybe an "I": [ATTACH=full]1143557[/ATTACH] Eager to hear from anyone who can tell me anything about this coin. Will share more in this thread and elsewhere as they catch my eye or become topical :happy:[/QUOTE]
