TheTrachyEnjoyer Posted September 17 · Member Share Posted September 17 (edited) https://www.biddr.com/auctions/nac/browse?a=4973&c=116643 Hello everyone, I am selling my collection of late Byzantine coins at Numismatica Ars Classica. Ive recorded an episode where I discuss some of the coins in the consignment linked above, where you will also find the sale itself. Take a look as there are some real rarities being offered!

theotokevoithi Posted September 18 · Member Share Posted September 18 Good luck with these trachea. They are real and required an advanced numismatic background to be identified correctly as they are. Maybe the trachea (and tornese ) are now having a decent starting point (price) and not sold as ''bulk copper lot coinage''. This is only the start for late byzantine coinage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently obtaining a secondary degree and figured that I could better use some of my collection to fund my schooling! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, and I certainly concur. I have some larger things in the works for late byzantine numismatics beyond this sale as well! This is a field that has much work left to be done Edited September 18 by TheTrachyEnjoyer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasiel Posted September 19 · Member Share Posted September 19 Some dreadful looking copper there, yikes. I get it though, Byzantine is a tough series to fall in love with. I'll participate (half-heartedly) Was really hoping for stavrata and basilika.... why are these so hard to come by of late? Yeah, I know, rhetorical.

Yeah, I know, rhetorical. Rasiel I'm overly fond of the stavraton and its fractions as well. I hope they don't become too popular. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theotokevoithi Posted September 22 · Member Share Posted September 22 ''Dreadful looking'', indeed for some of them. But these types are the expression of cultural identity (mainly religious) of the issuers using images on coins. Rare thing for coins and not one of them is identical with another (peculiar way of striking). Louvre museum in Paris is preparing a new Byzantine and Eastern Christian Art department, which will put on display nearly 20,000 objects of Byzantine art until 2027. These coins will become popular (thematology) and the prices will go up. It is a newfound underestimated cilvilization, i believe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand Posted Tuesday at 07:47 PM · Member Share Posted Tuesday at 07:47 PM (edited) @TheTrachyEnjoyer I won 1 of your coins. I'll wait until I have the coin in my hands, before I reveal it. @TheTrachyEnjoyer What did you think of the auction? Did any other Nvmis Forvms members bid on any of @TheTrachyEnjoyer's coins?

Thanks, Im excited to see what you won. The unique and AR coins went for significantly less than I expected and there was a decent amount of unsolds for the low end bronzes. That aside, a number of the AE coins did surprisingly well. Overall it went ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
