<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3091204, member: 56859"]Sure. In general there is considerable variability in the size and weight of ancient bronze coins. Without searching for many examples of the type I can't say what the range and average weight and diameter is. Maybe the CNG coin is atypically large or was struck on a heavy flan. Maybe yours was on a thinner flan. Yours definitely has lost a lot of metal. A gram? More? Hard to say. I'd say the size is in the ballpark though. As for whether the Septimius Philippoplis guess is correct, I don't know. Definitely a possibility though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
