<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1637331, member: 19463&quot;]I also have seen silvered coins called &#039;tinned&#039; and am not aware of studies that establish that some of the silver plating was actually another metal (tin or other).&nbsp; It may be.&nbsp; The coin strikes me as a normal type with remaining silvering but we need someone into metals to chime in on whether it could be tested for tin versus silver in the thin surface wash.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the seller&#039;s other offerings I see he considers all late Roman silvered coins to be tinned.&nbsp; I can not prove him wrong.&nbsp; Almost without exception the coins he offers are things I would love to add to my collection at the right price but, also almost without exception, I would not pay anything close to his prices.&nbsp; That is why I don&#039;t have thousands of super coins.&nbsp; If you are fabulously wealthy and really don&#039;t care what you pay, you could do worse than buying every coin he offers.&nbsp; If I were wanting to spend money on one of his sales, I saw others I liked better than this but that is opinion and there is nothing wrong with the Constantine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
