I have no idea which is correct since the reference weights I have from various sources also vary by a couple hundredths. I notice some dealers' scales are withing a couple hundredths of mine with regularity while some are all over the place. I think some copy weights from other coins and don't bother weighing them at all. </p><p>In an effort to fatten up my coin, I'm asking anyone with an obol to spare to send it over for Ptolemy's lunch.
