<p>[QUOTE="Hrefn, post: 8168415, member: 115171"]The preponderance of my collection is late Roman and Byzantine from Constantius II till the end of the empire’s coinage. Closely linked to that are some barbarian imitative coins; Ostrogothic, Visigothic, Lombardic, Merovingian, and the famous “Germanic, unidentified” tribe. Then there are a few Crusader coins, and some Islamic, Mongol, Indian, and Kushan coins. Some early medieval pennies of England and France, a sceat or two, a couple of Roman Republican denarii, some Venetian ducats and scudi, a handful of medieval gros (but fewer than a gross). There’s a single Greek stater, a single aureus barely identifiable, and a bit of modern stuff, mostly European. </p><p>I am experiencing some shock at the prices of Byzantine and imitative solidi, such that nearly all my auction bids are not only exceeded, but the coins are sometimes selling for 3x or 4x what I would expect.
