Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 11:48 pm Now I am not a religious guy in any way, shape, or form but that doesn't mean I can't find a coin with Jesus on pretty cool. I finally found one at a price I liked. It also happens to be my first Byzantine coin Now I think it is a Class 2 follis but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. When it arrived I also noted in the top right corner it looks like there was something in the die upon striking? It gave me some cause for concern since Byzantine isn't really my area and I don't really have any reason to doubt the seller. Any thoughts on it?

Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 12:00 am Thanks Ski. Wasn't quite sure what to put for the reference number. Also any thoughts on the right corner of Jesus' nimbus? It throws me off since it is over top of the nimbus line. Report this Post to the Staff

And I just got one last week, awaiting its arrival. Not as nice as yours but it was very inexpensive and I was getting another coin anyway... (I'm going to go broke if I always tack on another coin when buying one I've been searching for). Report this Post to the Staff
Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 11:31 am Don't worry FR I still have my eye on 'Nick the Turd' and a comfortable bid. TIF - This one was very cheap as well. I won't say a specific number but I will say it was south of ten bucks. The guy listed it when one of the most prominent sellers in his region had his auctions set to close so I think everyone was watching the other guys auctions instead of the seller for this Byzantine.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 1:02 pm These coins are known to have been struck over earlier ones. I think that what you are seeing may have been from that. Report this Post to the Staff
