I'd probably just give $10 for it, and I actually don't have a Gordian III yet.

Ill keep your advice in mind JW.

This coin walked into my dealers shop.

I told him I was interested and wanted to know a price. He didn't have a clue where to start and would have to do research when he got time.

He told me to take it home, research it, let him know what I think is fair, and let him know if I wanted to buy it.

I'll probably tell him for this coin he would probably Mark $15 and take $10, so ill give him $10 and save him the trouble.

Still a good profit for him, I think.

Thanks for all the help guys! Seriously!

1.1g is under 1/3 what such a coin should weigh if genuine.

Again, Doug is correct. I meant to mention that last night, but I forgot. I'm assuming that your scale is off (you said crappy scale), because that coin should weigh at least three time that amount.

Yea. the scale I have is really crappy. When I first put it on it said 1.9g, then slowly dropped to 1.1 where it stayed.

I wouldn't trust the weight.

Honestly it has noticeable weight in hand, which any of the 1g coins I have fell weightless.

LOL I just measured a clad quarter... 1.3g, should be 5.6... so yea. scale is garbage. It resides there too.

Ok, well I had a bit of a dumb moment, I didn't remove the cap on my scale.

It weighs in at 4.0g
