<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 7914880, member: 118540&quot;]I agree with [USER=41219]@furryfrog02[/USER] . It looks like a Heraclius 40 nummus follis, regnal year 2, Cyzicus mint, officina B/beta. However, I&#039;m not an expert, regarding authentication or attribution.</p><p>Because you asked about the approximate value, I will say the following. Note that I am not an expert.</p><p>It depends on whether you sell to an internet dealer, or whether you sell it yourself on the internet via ebay or CoinTalk, and how quickly you want to sell it. If a dealer buys the coin, then the dealer would probably turn around and sell the coin for twice what he/she paid you for it, in order to make a profit, and to pay for shipping and labor.</p><p>The Good : The eyes, nose, and mouth are still there. The reverse looks pretty good. The cross on the obverse is clear. On the reverse, the big &quot;M&quot;, the mint, and the officina &quot;B&quot; are clear.</p><p>The Bad : The inscription/legend on the obverse is not very readable, because it&#039;s mostly not there. It has some large scratches on the obverse. There doesn&#039;t seem to be much patina on the obverse.</p><p>I&#039;m guessing, that a dealer would sell it for approximately $50. Therefore, I&#039;m guessing, that a dealer may pay you approximately $25 for it.</p><p>Unless it&#039;s some sort of rarity. I&#039;m not an expert on Heraclius folles. It could be a rarity in some way, like a rare mint, or a rare officina, or because of some other particular thing. If it&#039;s a rarity, then it could be worth a lot more.</p><p>Perhaps, someone who is more knowledgeable about Heraclius folles than I am, and who knows more about possible rarities, will say something about the value of this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
