<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2120066, member: 44316&quot;]Hey, AN, what is the diameter (and weight) of your Class A1 follis?&nbsp; I ask because A1 looks essentially identical to A2 but is significantly smaller and lighter. (The key difference is the lack of ornaments above and below the reverse legend.) When someone on eBay says his coin is A1 the chances are good it is really the commoner A2. Yours is missing the entire first line (IhSUS) of the reverse legend, so I bet your flan is small. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wish members would include at least the diameter when they show us a coin. Unless you know a coin type well, it is hard to tell the size of a coin from a photo alone. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]401793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]401794[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This Class A1 example is 24-22 mm and only 5.74 grams, lighter than A2 examples (I have one A2 example at 19.76 grams! However, 8 grams is not uncommon).&nbsp; Note the ornament below the legend on Steve&#039;s example above (and the same ornament would appear above were it not off the flan), and the lack of ornaments on this Class A1 example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
