<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 8285471, member: 75482&quot;]Antony&#039;s official denarii were more base than contemporary denarii of other issuers. It may be that an imitation struck or cast in high tin bronze would have looked &#039;white enough&#039; when new.&nbsp; A counterfeit only has to work once to be a success for its maker. This high-tin bronze scheme has been suggested by George Boon as an explanation for the cast imitations of the Severan era and later that collectors today call &quot;limes denarii&quot;. I see no reason to suppose that such an alloy might not have been used at an earlier period or that Antony&#039;s denarii might not have been imitated well after their issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
