Quote: Is the diameter of this coin less than 19mm? Really narrowing it down by size, we currently know it's more then 18mm less then 20 so it must be 19 ish.

Ancient coins are out of my comfort zone lol, there is sooooo many with sooooo many varieties. I also just assumed hammered coins could have a different diameter from one coin to the next(shows you what I know about coins this old:p

For hammered coins I thought the diameter could vary alot. Can someone post a link on how hammered coins were manufactured? I just read a little but if you have a good link specific to the minting process for hammered coins thought time send it my way. I wouldn't mind a history lesson it's been a while
