<p>[QUOTE="Ryan McVay, post: 7344182, member: 117904"]I recently purchased a couple left facing Elagabalus AE Antioch S*C coins. One dealer has the ticket as McAlee 796. It's clearly not 796 because that is a right-facing bust and laureate . So, I am having a hard time attributing this coin. I have it next to the second left facing 790.</p><p>But as you can see the flan is a bit chunkier on the to-be-identified coin (left)) and it weighs a full gram higher than my 790 (right). Any help is appreciated in attributing the coin.</p><p>I might call it a 790 but the legends are spaced differently- it's full and uninterrupted. I'm not up to speed on Roman weights yet.

[QUOTE="Ryan McVay, post: 7344182, member: 117904"]I recently purchased a couple left facing Elagabalus AE Antioch S*C coins. One dealer has the ticket as McAlee 796. It's clearly not 796 because that is a right-facing bust and laureate . So, I am having a hard time attributing this coin. I have it next to the second left facing 790. But as you can see the flan is a bit chunkier on the to-be-identified coin (left)) and it weighs a full gram higher than my 790 (right). Any help is appreciated in attributing the coin. I might call it a 790 but the legends are spaced differently- it's full and uninterrupted. I'm not up to speed on Roman weights yet. So I am not certain if the nearly 1g difference is enough to make it a different denomination. That's why I am here chatting with you! Please share your thoughts, facts and opinions!
