Normally I don't like to duplicate coins unless I am upgrading (exception Caligula ..... never can have too many) But this "baby" measures 29.5-30mm and tips the scale at 18.33 grams !! Considering the wear and corrosion "she" had to be over 19 grams back in her prime. It is a common type and I own an VF/XF But I was smitten !
