[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2958592, member: 44210"]Thanks all for the additional comments! Now that I think about it, I wish I had put the Rome half-follis before the octobol, but oh well. The yearly gold payments were ended by Marcian upon his ascension in 450 AD. Including the initial year that's 9 years or 6300 pounds of gold! Makes me wonder what eventually happened to all that. I'm sure some were most likely melted. Perhaps a Hunnic hoard of gold with at least some of the tribute coins will be found someday :D [ATTACH=full]723789[/ATTACH] Here's the full thread: [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/uh-oh-i-cleaned-a-popular-coin.298999/[/url][/QUOTE]
