Need Faustina Jr. ID Help

I have a Faustina Jr. I am having trouble I'ding. I dunno what denomination it should be considered. Its seems to large for a AS but too small for a Sest.

I only found 1 exact match on ACsearch, being the SC location and close to weight. It lists as an As but I think the RIC info could be wrong from that listing.

The coin is below & the info I took from Acsearch. The weight/size is from me.

AC search I found: http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=339628

Thanks for any help. These big coppers are new to me.:rollling:

I'd vote for As but I've seen some of her coins listed as "Dupondius or As."

 

I'd call this a dupondius unless I scratched the edge and saw red rather than yellow metal under the patina. This, BTW, is a coin I would like to own.

 

Haha, thats what I said, except I said file not scratch lol and yeah, its a nice coin Mat!

 

I guess its a Dupondius afterall. This coin looks almost looks like mine.

If so, its description from Curtis Clay is interesting.

 

Especially since this coin was purchased in front of Curtis from Harlan Berk for $18.

 

Well I dunno if its the same type. Cant tell under a loupe if its a flower or patera.

 

Yeah, hard to see. Your looks like a patera to me and the link looks more like a flower. ???

 

Btw Doug if you remember I DID offer it in exchange for that sogdian cross reverse.

 

Considering that is the coin with bronze disease, you could say I blew that one.
