pendrak Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 09/26/2017 11:53 pm These are getting harder to find for the same reason they are so rare. Nobody wants to pay money for them now or then. After the very late Roman, Vandal, and Carthaginian super small coinage stopped, nobody wanted them. They were too small. Most were either chucked or corroded to dust. I mine all I can find. They are hard to clean and most cannot be identified. Here are couple of my latest good finds. The large coin is a Greek Pamphylia, Side SNG Cop 408, BMC 66, at a huge 14mm just for comparison. The smallest is the reverse of Maurice Tiberius, Carthage, SB 572b, and this is why I do it- the last one is the reverse of a Zenonis RIC X 1017 Monogram Type 1. A super small 9mm and 0.8 grams. Woot! Report this Post to the Staff

Super pick up! You should fire up a Women of Rome thread for her - probably our only chance to get one going! Report this Post to the Staff
pendrak Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 09/30/2017 9:29 pm Hi- I have been out of town for a few days and just now got back online for coin talk. I will try to get a good pic if the Obverse of the Maurice Tiberius later and post it. The obverse of the Zenonis is not much to look at. I just scored a super snag of an ancient lot today that I am drooling over and am in the process of posting. Later- Report this Post to the Staff
