<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3157481, member: 72790"]Thanks. I had not noticed these marks before. The reverse seems to show marks at 3 and 9 o'clock. The one at 9 o'clock partially obliterates the name (PY)RRUS while on the 3 o'clock the BASILEOS is faint but legible. I must admit I do not know what a jeweler's copy would be. Would a jeweler make a die and make a batch of these or only one? I do recall purchasing some years back a Justinian solidus that was struck in silver and the shop owner told me that it might have been a museum copy. Maybe, but why not in actual gold rather silver? Anyway, whatever it might be, thank you for the information you have provided.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
