Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 01/09/2018 8:36 pm Nice pick-up @LC! Looks like it is a Sear #1729. Here is what he said about this coin: Quote: This appears to have been issued in greater quantities than almost any other individual type in the Byzantine series. Your coin is in good company!

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/09/2018 9:25 pm Well, I'm just happy to have finally gotten one of these Byzantine issues attributed correctly, even if I wasn't able to nail down the specific catalog reference. As a genre, they're definitely out of my comfort zone. And if it's the most common of all of them, at least it came to me today on the cheap. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
