<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 2818966, member: 15019&quot;]Half ounce of silver would be worth quite a bit to the peasantry at that time.

Making outright debased or off-metal fakes is probably more profitable, but also runs a higher risk of getting caught. This is just an example of the timeless game of risk and reward.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
