[QUOTE="seth77, post: 2426341, member: 56653"]In a 5-10mins check I found this at 2.68g and in a condition that would not explain a presumed loss of cca. 0.6g: [url]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=74542[/url] Sometimes standards fluctuated and lighter pieces are to be expected. As for the discrepancy between obverse head gear and reverse legend, it's easy to see how someone would have re-carved the reverse according to his impression on who the emperor should be from a piece that might've looked like this: [url]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=190536[/url] Just imagine that the lumping dirt and deposits seen obscuring the CONSTANTI part of the legend were instead on the second half.
