PCGS - Coin of the Day: Byzantine Emperor Leo III died on this day in 741. This gold solidus shows him on the obverse and his son and successor, Constantine V, on the reverse. You can find it in a Heritage Auctions Coins sale of Byzantine coinage:https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/b...1633-22088.s

Very interesting coin!
Does "2/5 Surface" indicate an overly aggressive cleaning in the past?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I sent a 'batch' out to NGC two years back .
I am completely mystified as to how they grade the 'surface' of ancients !
More than a few of mine came back 2/5 which supposedly translates as being in the 20-40 out of a hundred range ?

More to the point .
Choice AU "bent" ?
What in Hades is that supposed to mean ?
The finest bent coin !

Seriously ?
