Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 7:54 pm Hello , I recently purchased a Solidus of the Eastern Roman Emperor Maurice Tiberius and have it verified at Baldwin's rare coins. It is a fairly light weight issue only weighing 4.12 grams , but it is a nice looking coin . So I would like to have the experts( you) opinion and input . Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Looking at the obverse, the bands around the helmet should be beaded, on this coin they are not and I have no idea what that center piece is suppose to be. I have seen any examples with that. Victory on the reverse looks a bit cartoonie to me. I'm no expert on Byzantine gold coins so this is just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 9:40 pm I wouldn't return it just yet, I would wait to see what others have to say about it. As I said I'm no expert on ancient gold coins and I could be wrong. I often am. Report this Post to the Staff
