[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8199258, member: 110226"]Well, it isn't what it used to be, when it was held in downtown SJ many years ago. This show is being held at a hotel near the airport, running from today until tomorrow, and there were 25 dealers present, with only two selling ancients. One dealer, who you might know since he sells on VCoins is Glen Lindwall of Berkeley, California. I had a nice discussion with Glen, who is a bio-chemist. He had a small but nice selection of ancients at the show, so I had to buy one. I couldn't leave empty handed! Unthinkable! The folles of Justin I are almost a dime a dozen, but this coin is a nicely struck example. This follis of Justin I (518-527 AD) is from Constantinople, officina A, weighs 15.64 grams and measures between 30 and 32 mm. References: DOC 8a; MIBE 11; SB 62 [ATTACH=full]1436537[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
