    Yeah @Mikey Zee , I thought you would like my statement. You kinda taught me to go after all the different denominations while collecting. Kinda cool idea!

    Well, I'm still doing it...going after a few missing denominations of various Emperors....it does look cool as a group--different sizes, fabrics, colors and metals.

    Hey, wait a minute....You're not blaming me for your coin purchases to Mrs 'Alegandron' are you?? Jeez, I have enough people mad at me already LOL

    LOL, THAT is a GREAT idea! Never thought of that!

    I am building little denomination groups by historic themes: Etruria, Capua, Carthage, RR Aes Grave, Philip II, Alexander III, etc. kinda fun. I just can't do that in the Imperials.

    Hello @rrdenarius,
    I'm glad you bought this coin I noticed a few years ago. The seller mentioned 2.86g, and I imagine there' a typographical error. Could you confirm the right weight, please ?

    Interesting your passion for overstrikes. Thank you very much for your comments.

    Consistent with later Neapolitan types.

    Thanks a lot @rrdenarius ,
    a seemingly third unit man-faced bull_Victory, struck two times, and then closer to unit's diameter 16-21mm as far I can see on Nicholas' wonderful website.
    Mint's attribution is a hard exercise, and I'm aware at Nicholas' professionalism.
    Thank to you both.

    It is usually referred to as an unnatural obsession, but I like the sound of professionalism better.
