Does it look like something could've been glued to back at one time? Edited by MontCollector 09/10/2016 01:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

bjherbison Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 09/10/2016 06:56 am Could we see an image of the other side? Also, an edge image would be useful as there are some edge/thickness variations. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/10/2016 08:15 am Sweet pick-up! Looks like a patriarchal cross above that obverse legend. My first guess would be Byzantine. Quote: Also, an edge image would be useful... bjherbison raises a good point here...a white seam might indicate a cast fake... Edited by Kamnaskires 09/10/2016 11:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/10/2016 08:37 am Just spotted one online. Apparently this type is prone to brittleness. Make sure that if you send it in for grading, they don't use too tight a slab...don't let this happen (below). Painful to look at. Just tragic. Report this Post to the Staff
Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 09/10/2016 10:25 am You guys all got me laughing. That's priceless bobL. So I was up late sorting some ancients at the table when it caught my eye. For a sec I thought it was a coin. Then I realized what it was. I was laughing so hard at myself I thought I better post for a laugh. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/10/2016 1:48 pm With advance apologies to all, I just can't seem to stop: - That coin is some serious eye candy! - I'm not sure why I can even read this thread...I thought I had my browser set to "no cookies." - I got outbid on this one. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. - As far as the i.d. goes, have you consulted Mitchiner?: Alright, I'll stop. I've milked - and cookied - this for all it's worth.
