<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rudi Smits, post: 1681582, member: 44944&quot;]Hello forum,</p><p>Recently I purchased 2 Roman provincial coins. One is referred to as a small AE12 in all major reference books. Size and dies are a perfect match. This is indeed the coin as described.</p><p>Here&#039;s the problem : I also bought a similar one. Only : this one is 50% larger... AE18 . Both dies and flan are also a perfect match. This is clearly not the smaller AE12 coin on a broad flan, as these dies are way to big to fit an ordinary AE12 flan. In my opinion this must be a higher (double ?) denomination, because the difference in size of both coins is way to big. I can accept to find an AE12 on a 13 flan, or an 11. But in second case, both dies and flan are clearly made to BE an AE18...</p><p>Would love to find your reactions here...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
