allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 5:26 pm Nice coin. Are Byzantine gold coins commonly cup shaped? (Or am I seeing a camera/lighting trick?) Edited by allranger 08/26/2013 5:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Eng5858 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 5:37 pm Thanks Guy's, the price was right, had to have it.. Allranger, not all gold are cupped, they made silver and bronze cupped as well. Scyphate is the term for these.. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 01:29 am Slightly scyphate, and almost no wear. In modern terms, about AU 55! In ancient coin grading terms, 'almost as struck'. Report this Post to the Staff
