<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4446708, member: 19463&quot;]I might have called the coin &#039;surface enriched&#039; rather than fourree since I see no signs of the exterior being applied as a silver foil wrapped around the core (whatever its composition).&nbsp; We must always remember that not all unofficial coins were made in the same way since unofficial mints were not required to follow a specific method but just did it their way in the hope to pass fakes and not get caught. Below is my more standard Otho fourree with obviously copper inside. Note the distinct seam obverse right where the foil sheets overlapped.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110771[/ATTACH] </p><p>I once was told by an &#039;expert&#039; that it was impossible to assemble a series of 12 Caesars in fourree because there were no Othos.&nbsp; I have seen five but I am not an expert and assume there are many more out there somewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
