A decent but inexpensive example --with a worn Rv die.&nbsp; For some reason it was labeled as a &quot;double sestersius&quot;.&nbsp; I recall it being around 20grams but will look it up with the auction firm (CNG, 2013, #??) weight.&nbsp; There was a huge wt variance with these.&nbsp; No silver plating involved here.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://coinsandhistory.com/pix_shared/pix_cointalk/Rome_Postumus_dble-sest_CNG-94-1194_both.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really wish there was somewhere we could take our coins to have them submitted to a lab grade XRF analysis.&nbsp; These jewelry shops have these things but not being lab grade, I don&#039;t believe they will provide trace metals analysis.&nbsp; Thus rather than just saying billion, one would know at least the surface metals composition.&nbsp; A specific gravity test would probably not be helpful with the 1st coin as the oxides would throw the measurements off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
