<p>[QUOTE=&quot;icerain, post: 1632951, member: 34514&quot;]Recently I have been looking more and more into ancient coins and I have noticed that sometimes the same issued coin is larger and heavier and sometimes its smaller and lighter. I&#039;m assuming it has chipped or it was just minted that way due to the lack of control back then. </p><p><br /></p><p>In searching for good examples I&#039;m conflicted to whether I should go for larger heavier pieces. My thought is that a larger, heavier piece should be a finer example. Correct me if I&#039;m wrong, but lets say there are two coins which are in the same condition but one is 1 gram heavier and 1mm wider. Shouldn&#039;t the larger one be a finer example? Though I&#039;m not looking at this for investment purposes, I do want to add good coins to my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
