<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2515160, member: 19463&quot;]This is a good example of how I am confused by RR bronzes.&nbsp; Correct me if I am missing something.&nbsp; This coin is special because of its weight.&nbsp; The two you link are over 30g.&nbsp;&nbsp; One &#039;reference&#039; I enjoy is the Vecchi 3 sale catalog but it lists no post&nbsp; semi-libral semis.&nbsp; It does have a &quot;trias&quot; lot 71 at 26.49g a full 10g heavier than the other examples cataloged the same.&nbsp; Sextantal semises (lots 101 through 111) range from 13.19g to 25.13g.&nbsp; I get lost when weights are the only way to tell one Crawford listing from another but the range from light to heavy in a series is several times greater than spacing between one series and the next.&nbsp; Certainly I agree that a semis that large is a special item but it appears the weight standards were more fluid than our system properly represents.&nbsp; That would suggest to me that a set of semises might need many more representatives than one post semi-libral and one sextantal.&nbsp; Can the coins be dated by weight?&nbsp; Is the Vecchi 25g coin the earliest of its series or did the mint just apply next to no weight control measures?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
