    Looking at acsearch I see some in the 1.6 range and one at 3.9g. One might say they did not calibrate their scales to .01.

    superb coin and very collectable--C mint is interesting it was always thought to be camulodunum (Colchester ) but now the experts think that it was clausentum (bitterne near Southampton )

    quote from spink book---quinarius an experimental demonization issued only during this reign,the types of the so-called quinarius would seem to indicate that it was in some way associated with the operations of the fleet upon which the survival of the rebel regime in Britain was totally dependent----------( a nice bit of history here )

    A very nice example of the type with lost of great detail, a good strike, good centering on a full flan. You see them referred to as a Reduced Ant. as well in a number of places.

    A usurper of a usurper (Carausius). That's really nice. Great piece of history.
