<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3706805, member: 97383"]John, Looks like you made another great score <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! You're right about solidi from Maurice Tiberius being the most plentiful of all Byzantine gold, however, your example is not common. Being struck at the Carthage Mint & having an indictional date make this a rare coin. Your coin is not poorly struck, but there is die deterioration visible, especially on the emperor's face. I sold the example pictured below at Heritage auction a couple of years ago. It is the most common type of solidus from this emperor, struck at the Constantinople Mint, but brought a high price because of its grade ($1,020.00).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]993520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]993521[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]993522[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
