brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 08:28 am Another coin from my uncleaned batch that I got. This one has turned out pretty good, and the reverse is a lot better then the obverse which is okay since that is where the mint mark is. I have this as RIC VII 186, but not exactly sure if that is right. Any help is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 08:43 am I think it is actually Constantine the Great (big daddy) Thessalonica RIC 183 like this: http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...p?coin=53977 Edited by Biancasdad 05/28/2015 08:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 09:13 am Wait did I read the title right? AE3? That has got to be the smallest coin I have heard of! Report this Post to the Staff
Jimbo777 Valued Member United Kingdom 201 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 09:27 am AE3 represents coins between 17 and 21mm in diameter. If its smaller than 17mm it is an AE4. Report this Post to the Staff
captainyesterday555 Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 12:53 pm It seems like the AE1, 2,3,4 designations are specific to LRBs, and people designate earlier bronze coins by AE and millimeter size. Can anyone explain when this changes chronologically for bronze coins? Or is it just that different collectors and dealers use different terminology?

brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 2:26 pm I am curious too, I said it was Ae3 because it is 17mm or 18mm, hard to get exact. I am still trying to learn the correct terms. Report this Post to the Staff
Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 3:50 pm That was the "Mionnet" scale, a sistem to classify ancient coins using their diameters. I´m sure that you must have seen one... are a lot of circles of differents diameters Edited by Athalbert 05/28/2015 3:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
