[QUOTE="H8_modern, post: 2728199, member: 28531"]I just received my latest purchase from CNG but before I won it I did some research on similar coins. I found that there was little variation in the size but drastic variation in the weight of the same denomination. All coins listed as tetrachalkons, all coins 19-20mm, all coins from around the same date. Weight 2.56-6.45g My latest: [IMG]http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r515/12volt-man/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-03/57827994-F176-42A0-822B-ED2D6EF36597_zpsjpcsboro.jpg[/IMG] And comparable coins: [IMG]http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r515/12volt-man/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-03/83494397-5046-44A2-9C9E-31D5448C3EDA_zpsmwxtpaky.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r515/12volt-man/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-03/3D28B722-151A-42E2-9EFC-1A934876C568_zpsnp1dve90.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r515/12volt-man/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-03/B022CBBF-D2AB-4B1B-955B-B21CC398C415_zps1p7j9fdw.png[/IMG] Is this normal for AE or was this simply the product of sloppy minting practices? Thanks for any insight. Jim[/QUOTE]
