<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1951574, member: 19463&quot;]Fourrees and unofficial coins of all sorts are written off by mainstream experts.&nbsp; It has been shown that some/most coins someone studied were not regular in any way so it was an easy step to say all were beneath notice.&nbsp; It is never possible to prove something does not exist.&nbsp; We can study the way things are known to have been but, when we decide that means all things are defined by those rules, we are in danger of making assumptions and calling them facts.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Times do change.&nbsp; Recently we have seen a lot on the production of Athenian owls in places other than Athens.&nbsp; Now I have to wonder how many coins we have accepted and based our systems upon are similarly less than official.&nbsp; Were fourrees ever a part of an official mint product line?&nbsp; We can prove not for a thousand examples but never can we extend that number to &#039;all&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
