Hi fellow collectors,

Here's a Gordian III Sestertius from my collection.

It looks like a AS RIC 259b except it weighs 20 grams and 30.1 mm.

RIC 259a?

Any help would be appreciated. Kieran.

RIC 259a, rated Rare by RIC, though these rarities have to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Regards,
Martin

Thanks again Martin. You are certainly correct about the rarity rating scale. Sometimes it refers to how many of a certain coin are confirmed found and others believe the rarity rating indicates how many times a year a coin comes to market. Here is the scale:
R-1 Common
R-2 Not So Common
R-3 Scarce
R-4 Very Scarce (population est. at 76-200)
R-5 Rare (31-75)
R-6 Very Rare (13-30)
R-7 Extremely rare (4-12)
R-8 Unique or Nearly So (1, 2 or 3)
