[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2384887, member: 77704"]Hi Mikey: With electrum the ratio is usually 50/50 AU/AR With the EL coinage from Lydia/Lesbos/Phokia/Mytilene even 60%AU/40AR That is why the ones in ROMA auction look so much like AV coinage. With the Bosphoron AV coinage, it sadly got more and more debased. So by 190AD it was less Av then AR. By 250 it was down to 5% AV. John[/QUOTE]
