<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2717841, member: 83956&quot;]Nice coins and write-up, [USER=76194]@Sallent[/USER] . I see so many siliquae clipped, even to the point of them missing all their legends. Maybe I&#039;m asking an obvious question here, but what were the silver shavings/clippings used for? Certainly not small change, or is that possible? To melt down for other purposes? You&#039;d have to clip a lot of coins to get enough silver for a significant new artifact, but I suppose a merchant might handle enough coins that if he shaved a bit off each one, it could really add up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
