<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3264455, member: 19463&quot;]This thread has shown many really great, high grade coins of Justinian.&nbsp; I want to show one I consider interesting because of what some will call a fault but I call a fact.&nbsp; The guys at Antioch made a perfectly centered 20 nummi, year 25 but the obverse, being perfectly centered has no legend because they used a 40 nummi obverse die much too large for the half size denomination.&nbsp; This coin is favored by most if the obverse is off center and shows part legend.&nbsp; Imagine how wide the border on the reverse would be if the obverse filled the die diameter.&nbsp; There are Byzantine bronzes that are interesting and fairly priced at the $5 this one cost. It would be nicer with less wear, I admit.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]859514[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
