<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Craig Z, post: 3076905, member: 74583&quot;]Hello all.&nbsp; I am currently looking to acquire a Gordian III Antoninianus with the below description.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient Roman Silver Antoninianus of Gordian III</p><p><br /></p><p>Struck 238-244 AD</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> IMP GORDIANVS PIVS PF AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Reverse: </b>IOVI STATORI, Jupiter standing with scepter and thunderbolt</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC 84</p><p><br /></p><p>21mm , 4.3gm</p><p>-----------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]774092[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]774093[/ATTACH]</p><p>I typically only collect English medieval coinage, but decided to delve into some ancients again so I am no expert on the matter.&nbsp; I&#039;ve done a little research, and I haven&#039;t found this type of coin that matches the exact diameter and weight.&nbsp; Closest examples I have came across was a 21mm 3.61g and 21mm 5.62g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does this appear to be a genuine coin and does anyone with knowledge of this coin know if the weight and size is acceptable?</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: I know Gordian III coins are quite common and I&#039;m not really asking par say based on the fact that I&#039;m concerned over the couple bucks I may lose out on, rather than learning from people with knowledge on the matter so I can be informed in the future. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
