<p>[QUOTE="SeptimusT, post: 3565073, member: 91240"]From the research I’ve done, a lot of the ones found aren’t identifiable at all. I think it’s probably a combination of the fact that they were not extremely detailed to begin with, circulated for a very long time, and were often buried in wet, acidic conditions. Big coins clanking together will wear faster, especially when they are used for centuries (hoards of Diocletian tetradrachms have shown up alongside drachms of Hadrian, for instance).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
