The best solidus I've seen Period!

This coin floored me when you first posted it some months ago, and it has double the effect now! Great detail, a perfect specimen!

(.. - speechless - ...) ..Most-beautiful solidus I've ever seen, as well... bar None. About enough to make one cry...
Noah   [Feb 06, 2006 at 11:06 PM]
No way this is any less than a 5 with that awesome detail!
Gavignano   [Mar 24, 2007 at 12:33 AM]
Very Happy Without flaw. Great flan. Gotta hit 4 figure price easy.
*Alex   [Jun 08, 2011 at 11:12 AM]
Easily the best of the type and probably unbeatable anywhere.
Lloyd T   [Jun 09, 2011 at 12:44 AM]
I certainly have not seen a better one. The detail, style and quality of the engraving of the die evident in this strike is incredible. Late Roman - early Byzantine artistry at its finest.
