In an Unusually Fine Condition !


Wandering around the world on ebay I stumbled upon some lots of Tetrarchy folles
They looked rather fine so I went "long"
To my surprise they came in on the cheap !
A few days later Herr Lanz had a few more looking for a home
He usually gets very impressive prices
To my surprise they were very reasonable
Plus I had $38 in ebay Bucks to ease the pain !

In the interest of saving time
I will dispense with the complete attributions

Two Folles
Constantius I
Rome - 27-8mm 9.23 gram
Heraclea - 27-8mm 9.42 grams

Averaged out they came in under $30 each
And that's before my ebay Bucks

Happiness is a warm follis .......
Preferably London Trier Lyon or Carthage !

Occasionally Thessaloniki Heraclea ...... or even Cyzicus

Folles follies?

Seriously though--great coins.

They might be common, but they are really excellent examples.
