<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JulianIX, post: 3739262, member: 96184&quot;]Thank you [USER=72790]@kevin McGonigal[/USER] - very interesting. This coin does seem like an even higher % of silver with its silver wash and glimmer within holes and on edges so that&#039;s the good fabric too. It&#039;s convincing as a silver coin. </p><p>I agree with you about later portraiture. I collect London Mint so I&#039;m getting used to indifferent versions of Genius too. Some of the early London Mint coins on new Diocletian standard are pretty impressive - especially with their silvering in place - not quite as convincing solid silver as is this &#039;aurelianus&#039; but bigger. I&#039;ve been calling a London Mint coin a &#039;nummus&#039; following Cloke and Toone and academic usage. but a lot of people like to call them &#039;follis&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
