[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 8311032, member: 74222"]Look at this Solidus of Justinian, it is 4.40g: [ATTACH=full]1471183[/ATTACH] I found it here: [URL]https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/carthago_numismatics/294/product/justinian_i_gold_solidus/1644897/Default.aspx[/URL] Look particularly on the reverse side. It looks so wrong. I have seen 1000s of images of solidus, but never one like this. Can anyone here tell me what has happened? It either look like it was exposed for fire and it melted a bit? Or maybe the diet was rusted when that coin was struck? In any case: If you have a strong opinion, or better: if you KNOW what it is, then I would like to know it. I dont intend to buy it. I am just curious why the heck it looks like it looks. :dead: Thanks[/QUOTE]
