<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3152892, member: 76086&quot;]I&#039;m always amazed people still do this, so I would first advise any and all never to use the &#039;ring&#039; or &#039;drop&#039; test.&nbsp; I have seen too many genuine coins destroyed in this manner.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I see no reason to suggest these are not genuine.&nbsp; They look good in all manner, from patina to style.&nbsp; As to why they were found together, well, maybe they werent.&nbsp; A seller of an item will suggest anything to make a sale, so there is no way at this point to know if they truly were in a hoard but if so, what else was in the group?&nbsp; Again one will never know.&nbsp; It is entirely possible it was chock full of these, complete and in good condition (not likely but certainly possible).&nbsp; The archaeological record is full of examples of things that were found together, or in a place where they should not have been at all.&nbsp; There just isnt any way to know, but its fun to come up with theories![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
