<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7308962, member: 19463&quot;]The OP here was pretty useless without a weight.&nbsp; Gordian III asses I have seen tend to be close to 10g.&nbsp; Also, the flan preparation process often seems to be &#039;different&#039; with asses being rounder and tapered edge while sestertii are more squared off and often look clipped.&nbsp; These are my gut feeling/observations and not the result of a careful study.&nbsp; Someone planning a lifetime study of these can address this and see if it is reasonable. I only have two GIII asses, 11.5 and 10.88g (the second hardly counts due to the overstrike).&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1277767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1277768[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Sestertii: 20.2 and 16.8g.&nbsp; Are sestertii 10-20 times as common as asses?&nbsp; It looks that way to me but again this is not a scientific study. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1277770[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1277771[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Can someone show asses with the clipped, squared look?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
