[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7589416, member: 115909"]Thanks! I appreciate you answering because I just couldn’t figure it out and Googling “Why is my Hadrian denarius so light?” wasn’t turning up anything useful :/. But wouldn’t people have been upset getting lightweight denarii? Like you said if 100 flans were 340g and some were underweight and some overweight then Gresham’s Law should take place resulting in the heavier denarii being hoarded and only the light ones in circulation. Unless transactions were by weight rather than number of coins? What is a “flans”? I’ve seen lots of coins graded as like “bent flans” but Idk what that means. Is it the extra metal on the edge? Nice Commodus coin! I was just watching the Netflix series “Roman Empire” and it has 3 seasons each depicting the life of one emperor. Season 1: Commmodus Season 2: Julius Caesar Season 3: Caligula It’s pretty good![/QUOTE]
