    Just received this Marcus Aurelius denarius .. (sorry for the large photos - got to fix that).. not the best example but I am happy to own it.
    Looking at Wildwinds I am thinking it is RIC 215 ..Sear 4888.
    However the example on that site states a weight of 3.68 grams.
    Mine is 2.56 grams. Is there a rule of thumb on tolerances?
    Just looking to learn from your experience. Thank you for any replies. S20180320_0002.jpg

    The coin is fine and yes, there is fluctuations in weights.:)
