Section of the AAMD Guidelines relied upon for the exception to 1970:
Cumulative facts and circumstances
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above:
Byzantine coins were issued in very large numbers and widely circulated beyond the place where they were struck. In the past this common coinage tended to be inadequately illustrated in sales catalogues, making it difficult to trace a particular specimen.
