[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 8360101, member: 95174"]I have never seen this weight attributed so precisely. I have seen many might be. At first these examples were being used as post reform tetarteron weights ( They are not.) I am no expert on weights but I have read alot of the time period, we know weight sets from the city were far more accurate than those used outside the city. complete sets have been found. The difference in the country weights is like the butcher version of adding a penny to the scale. In this case it was the money changer. As for authenticity for the weight or the coin, go with your feeling first, and then the logic. You will never be disappointed that way.[/QUOTE]
