<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3730701, member: 72790&quot;]The First Century Spanish mints did not quite seem up to the skills of the Gallic or Rome mints when it came to portraits so they do seem a bit odd compared to something coming out of those mints. The weight should be between 10 and 11 grams, about the weight of the typical As of the period. There seem to be a number of these on the market right now and I suspect a find of what had been a scarce coin has been uncovered. Yours seems perfectly good to me. I don&#039;t know that anyone has been making copies of them and if the price had been right I would have bought it as a decent addition of an emperor somewhat hard to get in nice condition. I think you can have a high confidence in having made a good acquisition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
