<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 4137708, member: 75937&quot;]This one was underweight and I should have suspected that much of the metal had leeched out of it while in the ground. It was very brittle and didn&#039;t survive the post office. The dealer (Romanorum) gave me a full refund and no longer ships anything without a padded envelope.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1070635[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It turns out that it had been improperly attributed, too. The inscription read IMP CC VIB ... instead of IMP CAE C VIB ..., making it a product of the branch mint (traditionally attributed to Mediolanum) and not Rome. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have since acquired a more structurally sound example of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1070638[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
