<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3013192, member: 75525&quot;]Welcome [USER=93702]@Clavdivs[/USER] , nice coin. A silver denarius is an excellent starter coin. As my name implies, I collect Roman Republican coins. But..... I have been known to stray. Today I bought a Roman Imperial coin because I liked the scale on it. It is not here, so I am tempting fate that it will make its way across the ocean. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]747581[/ATTACH] </p><p>Diocletian AD 284-305, AE silvered Follis</p><p>Obv - IMP DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG; Laur. bust r.</p><p>Rev - SACR MONET AVGG ET CAESS NOSTR; AQS in ex.; VI in r. field; Moneta standing l. holding scales and cornucopia</p><p>Mint: AQS = Aquileia</p><p>Mint Date: 302 - 303 AD</p><p>Grade: VZ; EF, some minor striking weakness on rev.</p><p>28mm</p><p>9.43 g</p><p>RIC 35; Paolucci 17</p><p><br /></p><p>I liked this one because it shows the scale and how to hold it. Note the pans are more like cups. I looked at several on acsearch and saw a lot of minor variations in the scale: right cup lower, left cup lower, center string not centered, etc. Note the finger positioning for holding the scale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
