They seem to be worth the effort of getting graded. What are your unbiased thoughts on this? I’m biased because I’ve been holding onto these two ever since I can remember!

Looking for opinions on this coin. Sold to me as a Constantius II AV solidus, Antioch mint, GLORIA REIPVBLICAE reverse. Measurements: weight 3.8g (confirmed 3x), diameter 20-21mm, surface XRF reads 98% Au. Standard solidus weight should be ~4.5g, so I’m concerned about the underweight. Edge looks irregular and gold throughout (no seam line). Considering submitting to NGC Ancients but wanted thoughts first. Photos attached!

I’ve been holding onto this piece for years now, and I feel it deserves to be graded or, at the very least, authenticated. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
