<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2238590, member: 19463&quot;]My example of the Basil II and Constantine VIII fourree weighs 2.8g and has no remaining silver color.&nbsp; I wonder if the original silvering was silver at all or just another white metal.&nbsp; &nbsp; At 1.8g, I&#039;d suspect yours was also.&nbsp; The only way I see to sell is to make a scratch on the edge and see if it is silver or red/brown below. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]441252[/ATTACH] </p><p>I bought my coin from the estate of a metallurgist who had a wonderful collection of coins he selected for their interesting fabrics.&nbsp; The seller on behalf of his estate though his Greeks were really valuable and sent them off to a high end auction.&nbsp; I was able to get a few of his junkier Roman period coins of which this was one.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wonder what ever happened to the good stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
