Pretty hard to pass up a nice bronze for $4 ! I would have bid a fiver ! Many deals to had 'out there' lately. I am close to once again bankrupting myself with all the $10 bargains I am finding.

I like that the Justinian has a full obverse legend. You don't see that too often on those little Byzantine bronzes.

Wow you only paid $4 for the Ivan, I've seen ones in very worn condition sell for $40. Don't know where you found them but I wish I could find ones so cheap.
