<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3661186, member: 84744&quot;]RC above notes that he has a sestertius of the period weighing 11.52g, and there are hippo sestertii on acsearch weighing 11.65g, 12.29g, and 12.88g for example.&nbsp; If it was a hard strike that stretched out the flan a lot, perhaps it could end up being that thin, and quite a large diameter so the coin has lost even more than 6mm?</p><p><br /></p><p>It is pretty thin, though, and to my eye the flan doesn&#039;t look to have lost so much diameter, judging by that side view... so the hypothesis of an as flan is certainly viable.&nbsp; (Certainly a sestertius die.)&nbsp; A question mark coin, but lots of fun to think about! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
