<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3297762, member: 87200"][ATTACH=full]873059[/ATTACH] My "double sestertius" of Postumus was advertised as a double because of the radiate crown - the seller's picture was giant. However when I received the coin it was only 10.7 grams, so in reality it might be a dupondius. I was fairly bummed out by this realization. And the lesson may be to only purchase coins where the diameter and weight are disclosed. Caveat Emptor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
