It weighs .85 and it's smaller than a pinky nail. Any help would he appreciated! Best, R. Edited by Roma2021 01/22/2023 2:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 3:17 pm Sorry... Little finger nail...the coin is about 11 mm. In looking up similar, I believe this coin is an authentic specimen...any reason to doubt that? Here are some other coins I found in the collection. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/22/2023 3:41 pm The silver one - a quinarius of Octavian with a cista mystica reverse - is a great acquisition. Neat coin despite the lamination issues. Edited by Kamnaskires 01/22/2023 3:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
