medoraman New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 4:11 pm Cool feeling isn't it? I own a few byzantine gold coins, but just received 4 Kidarite gold coins. These are about 8 grams a piece, and I have to admit having the extra "heft" of them in the hand is pretty darn cool. Grats on your new coin. You went one step further than most collectors, most start out with Byzantine gold, you went straight for the Roman stuff. :) Report this Post to the Staff
