<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2890079, member: 19463&quot;]When we are trying to find UR or Constantinopolis coins in a catalog, the first step is to weigh or otherwise evaluate the size of the coin.&nbsp; The types were issued in parallel with both the heavy two standards coins and the lighter one standard type.&nbsp; I am sure that there are a few abnormal coins from each group and I am no expert in the series so I may be wrong placing a 2.1g coin (light for a two standard and heavy for a one).&nbsp; The easy answer is never to buy a commemorative over 2g and under 2.2g but that seems to be cheating just to make it easier to find in RIC.&nbsp; If you have a pile of these coins spread out before you most play nicely and join the big ones or small ones groups nicely.&nbsp; The problem comes when you have just one and have to weigh it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
