<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3307981, member: 19463"]Are you saying there is a diameter or weight difference between the PP and non PP issues? I believe in scales but rarely use calipers. Fractions of a mm are not significant on a hammered coin and a plastic ruler will give whole mm readings sufficient to tell an as from a sestertius. I do not specialize in Claudius and am not aware of any fine differences here. The PP as below is about as far gone ascan be attributed by what I know. I saved it for the patina but never cataloged it in my collection. It comes in handy to demonstrate split grading. VG+/PR-?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]876542[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
