<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4985188, member: 19463&quot;]Half of my Augustus denarii are plated and I suggest everyone be wary of fourrees when buying coins of the last half of the first century BC and first half of the first century AD.&nbsp; I particularly like this one which has just enough core exposure to be obviously plated and a really classic example of the seam on the obverse where the silver foils overlapped.&nbsp; The coin is in my &#039;technical&#039; collection and fits my tastes better than a solid silver one would.&nbsp; The coin is also special to me as once in the collection of my friend who taught me to appreciate technical collecting, the late Grant Edwards.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1197733[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
