yugotex Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 01/06/2022 5:32 pm Spent some time checking online images but could not figure out the attribution. 17-18 mm diameter & approximately 3.8 grams. Would most appreciate help with identification. Rod in TX Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/06/2022 6:11 pm Q. Titius denarius. Should be good silver. Is it? Could just be the photo, but that doesn't quite look like toned silver. The wide-eyed portrait seems odd too... Report this Post to the Staff
yugotex Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 01/06/2022 6:16 pm Yes, appears as good silver...& agreed, wide eyes...couldn't find another in my amateur searching. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/06/2022 7:13 pm The weight and diameter seem to match real examples on this old coin talk thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/co...coin.356209/ However, the design looks very wrong to me. Any chance of you calculating the specific gravity of this piece?
