While I'm not positive about an ID on this coin or even if it's a quadrans 100%. But I definitely disagree that it wasn't originally an As.
23mm. The coin is pretty thin. I presume from the countermark punch or hammer, whatever they used that thinned the coin out from the hit.
The weight of my coin is substantially less than that of an As. It could be revalued as an As, but the weight is way under. As is usually about...
I've seen more than a few bulls here, but the nice ones tend to get expensive.
I haven't been collecting this era for a long time either.

I have a votive type in worse condition than that coin but yours ain't bad. The patina is peeling off of mine.
I think I'll try to reshoot my other Julian II fallen horseman. It has the old scanner photo and it doesn't look good that way.
I don't know. I thought this one had a lot to be desired but it isn't bad.
Those shouldn't be difficult to obtain. I got mine for $5 last year.

I have another higher grade example of the Constans galley but it is somewhat of a flat strike. Planning on reshooting that one later on.
Yeah, believe it or not, that was a typo putting in AQS dot instead of AQP dot. I never even noticed the typo error. Thanks for noticing.

I have seen that coin before and have heard about it being tooled.
