mashisback Valued Member United Kingdom 287 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 05:22 am It appears to be HERACLIUS? But I can only find similar but with HERACLIUS CONSTANTINE also on same side... example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HERACLIUS-R...51408933312& If I cannot find the coin, does this make it rare?

You should find several coins similar to yours on this Wildwinds page; scroll down to the ones numbered 956 and 977. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 08:12 am Alas, I can't help much with valuations; my copy of Sear's Byzantine catalogue has a 1974 date inside it. I can suggest, once they are reliably identified, to look them up on places like Vcoins or CoinArchives. For example, Here's a slabbed version of the coin in this thread being offered for $2500 by a Vcoins dealer; Here's another in an imminent auction, with a US$500 estimate. I should also point out that, if the pics in this thread are correct, then the pics in your other thread have been mixed up a bit; since the pics of this particular coin are at the top and bottom of the post. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
mashisback Valued Member United Kingdom 287 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 10:45 am Thanks Sap, I know I am asking a lot of you, but what is your immediate thoughts on paying £1000 for this bundle ($1650) I think I am going to lose the deal if I don't act fast and this is what they have quoted as the best price Report this Post to the Staff
