<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2072934, member: 19463&quot;]I also fear that any questions on precious metal coins has to address the difference in production numbers and survival numbers.&nbsp; How many silvers of this period were melted and became the silvers of the next?&nbsp; How many worn silvers testify to circulation for years?&nbsp; How many hoards of these coins were found in the past two centuries and melted to hide the fact that they were found? As recently as the 1950&#039;s, silver denarii could be bought for melt value under some circumstances so melting a hoard would be better than explaining where you got the coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; All these make statistics of production more than a little difficult.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
