It is guaranteed genuine! "You should expect 95% of the coins are 3.2 to 4.4. In fact the coins ranged from 3.23 to 4.15. (Cited from:  [link removed by eBay] )"  This coin is 3100ths of a gram under the 3.2 range "I see the Roman Republican system quite modern. Moneyers were able to contract out or manipulate weights, purity and workmanship to some degree. These men could campaign for higher office by producing well made full weight coins or they could skimp and figure out how to make more coins from less metal and hire artists with lesser skills for a lower price. Troubled times (war) requiring more coins on short notice also would encourage lowering of quality. Today, we see people adding sawdust to shredded cheese and telling us that it is to prevent clumping. We have used technology to lower qualities and raise profits. So did some moneyers. We add additives to cheapen product and then package less in a box that looks like it should hold more. When did you last see a half gallon of ice cream? We modern types did not invent such shenanigans; the Romans were good at it." (Cited from:  [link removed by eBay] )
