<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1009959, member: 112&quot;]I disagree, and I don&#039;t care about the surviving specimens either. I only care about what the law was at the time. Now I cannot speak with any certainty about the ancient period per se, but I can speak about the medieval period. And there were people put to death for debasing minor silver denominations and copper coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I have to disagree here. With all hammered coinage, and that includes the ancients, diameter was wildly varied. The only thing that mattered was the weight of the flan not the diameter of the flan. Diameter never had any controls upon it until the introduction of milled coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
