<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2438175, member: 74282&quot;]Likely a fouree core but are you absolutely sure it isn&#039;t simply heavily patinated? I have seen victoriati that were of good silver(meaning not fouree) from 2.2 grams all the way up to almost 4. Neither the denarii or victoriati of this period were as tightly controlled as those of later times and occasionally it seems like you encounter ones that aren&#039;t fouree but are still debased more than the norm. If I were you I&#039;d take a very hard blade and try to scratch a very small area of the edge to see what the inner metal below looks like. Use a microscope even, to minimize the area. Silvery? Likely official. Bronze-y? Likely fouree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
