<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8248580, member: 110350&quot;]The same is true of Crawford; most of the Roman Republican &quot;hybrids&quot; he notes -- usually an obverse and reverse of a particular type with different control numbers -- are ancient counterfeits. See <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-hybrid-roman-republican-denarius-could-it-possibly-be-real.364583/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-hybrid-roman-republican-denarius-could-it-possibly-be-real.364583/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-hybrid-roman-republican-denarius-could-it-possibly-be-real.364583/</a>, where I quote Crawford&#039;s statement that &quot;hybrids are often wrongly reported as being of pure silver, when they are in fact plated (for the only examples known to me of hybrids of pure silver see pp. 272 and 279 and no. 391; cf. also Table XVIII, 114).&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
