<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2430113, member: 57495&quot;]No, there&#039;s no evidence of overstriking... many that were struck over older coins don&#039;t actually show traces.&nbsp; Decius was known to have recycled old denarii (particularly Severan era denarii) for his antoniniani.&nbsp; It&#039;s just a theory, but IMHO plausible an antoninianus from the time of Caracalla-Elagabalus just slipped into the mix.&nbsp; These commemorative Divi types were Decius&#039;s final issues, and by this time the average weight of his ants had dropped to 3.6g and below.&nbsp; 4.85g for this series is not very rare, but unusual enough to be noteworthy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
