[QUOTE="Smojo, post: 2575282, member: 78058"]I need some educating here. I picked up a Postumas Ant a few weeks ago and it arrived yesterday. It's from a dealer I've not bought from before and cheap enough. I bought it for the purpose to learn. I definately didn't need it because I already have an example I'm quite happy with, one of my faves. When I opened the package it only made me think "what the heck". They are the same coin & as far a I can tell same mint (only the Lyons mint differs in the hair style). But they look so different, base metal & weight. I'm still messing with my photo set up & a new photo app so please forgive the pics. If needed I'll try for better. Both coins are shown here one I've posted a few times & I have no doubts about. But I want both so you see what I mean. Postumus, Ae Both are 20mm, the 1st is 3.6g the 2nd is 2.8g Colonia Agripa 268 AD Rev.: PAX RIC 318, SEAR 3120, Vanmeter 37 [ATTACH=full]557871[/ATTACH] Thanks everyone.[/QUOTE]
