Cru'Dad has a question on the Quadrans;

If its weight is about 11gms it is circa 211-206BC as per 2000 Sears 1037 with a head of Hercules – which was the standard type for a quadrans and not Minerva. If the coin is lighter at about 3.25 gms it is circa 91BC as per 2000 Sears 1195. If it is circa 38gms then that would be a 215-211BC variant under 2000 Sears 608.

Whats the weight?
