A recente addition to my collection. The heaviest Constantine’s follis I have ever had: 11,26 gr x 28 mm

Nice! I'd had that bookmarked for a few days, then when I finally decided I wanted it, it was gone!

Yes - Varesina. I only occasionally check the individual dealer websites, so had only noticed it myself recently.

I think it would have sold faster if the dealer pic was better. I had to lighten it with photoshop (GIMP) to see how it really looked.

Anyways, congrats! I did win a rather major conselation prize on eBay yesterday that I'll post when it arrives!

I don’t’ know what you bought but I’m already a bit jealous  ;D ;D
I was dramatically overwhelmed in the recent Paul-Francis Jacquier Auction, so I also need a cosolation prize on ma-shop  8)
