The weight is a nice 9.11 grams & the max diameter is 25.65 mm. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 10:16 am Hmmm...very rough indeed. the reverse type is pretty common, Victory flying left with a shield inscribed SPQR, flanked by S-C. Several emperors issued this. The most common I've seen is Nero, but the bust doesn't look quite right for him (might be the corrosion). Perhaps Vespasian: Report this Post to the Staff
MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 10:26 am I was thinking Vespaian also, that will do for me, thanks Ben. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 4:01 pm Thanks Ron, I like the coin, despite it's 'corrosion' and being very rough indeed, its a nice chunky genuine coin, common reverse yes, but the only one I have out of thousands of coins so that makes it a keeper (for now).
