Hi everyone,

I bought this coin today and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it.

Thanks for all your help!

my first thought was romanus iii, I have one pretty similar. it must be class b, because that's what I wrote on my coin flip...but i'll be darned if I can keep straight which class is which on these anonymous coins.

Thanks for the id, it really helps!

I was wondering what the going rate on it would be.

I've looked on ebay and saw different price ranges.

I don't plan to sell it, it's my second ancient coin after my widow's mite. I'm just curious.

Thanks again!

These are not very valuable to begin with, in this condition $10-$15.

Thanks, echizento. I paid $12, so I think I did well.
