Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 6:16 pm My inclination is to leave this one with its patina intact. Your thoughts? See: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces135231.html Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 6:52 pm Leave it alone, it's a nice coin. I bought a huge lot of these coins when I first started collecting not knowing what they were. Years later, I still don't know as I am immersed in Roman Imperial Coinage at the moment.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 02/05/2021 7:38 pm Another detail regarding this coin - apparently they were minted in two distinct diameters, the first being "around 25mm" with the second type coming in at "around 24mm", this latter size being far more prevalent. Of course, my example measures 24.5mm making identifying it as one variety or the other rather problematic. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 02/05/2021 8:06 pm @lc, sometimes the width of the flat rim is also diagnostic. Does Hartill mention any differences beyond the diameter?
