[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3929200, member: 87404"]It doesn't look very big... 1.25 inches? So probably a As rather than sestertius. It has the semi-square shape to the flan and the wear and state look authentic to me (I'm not an expert). Here is my sestertius: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/collagemaker_20180329_204249759-jpg.781357/[/IMG] [SIZE=3][B]Gordian III[/B], Sestertius, Struck 240 AD, Rome Mint [B]Obverse:[/B] IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG - Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
