Bewildering Byzantine Coin Sale

Dawg144

I'm pretty sure this is a Cyzicus follis of Justinian I, which Sear had listed as 10 pounds in VF back in 1974. It's a nice coin, but how did it fetch upwards of $800? Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help.

Hm. I dunno, but since when does Byzantine = "Biblical"?

I know why it fetched over $800...
