<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 4271660, member: 98035&quot;]Thanks all!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=93416]@EWC3[/USER] - I finally had a chance to weigh mine, and it&#039;s 4.17g on the money. Do you have pictures of any of the ones you handled? I am very curious to see what else may be visible on the design.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also curious that a new weight standard would spring up within this series. Normal Adivaraha drachms (both the early and the late types) generally weigh about 3.8g, and it isn&#039;t typical to see sudden jumps in weight standards within this series, or at least not half a gram. The fabric of this one is also a bit off... both rounder and a bit thicker than you normally see.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting to think of how easily coins like these could slip under the radar and never be picked up by someone interested in understanding them - this is far from the first time I have seen a rare Indo Sassanian go for sale on ebay, and usually if I dont win it, I&#039;ll never see it pop up anywhere else online later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
