<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2543305, member: 80804&quot;]For the record, the coin which began the thread is not silvered as one of the comments upstream in the thread mentioned. Although it is billon and a good bit less than .500 fine AR, at the time of Hostilian, Antoniniani had not yet become so debased as to require &quot;silvering&quot;. This wasn&#039;t done officially until the sole reign of Gallienus. Anything you may have from before 260 AD which appears silvered is most likely a contemporary copy.</p><p>I don&#039;t know if this is permitted or not - if not, sorry, I mean no harm - but if anyone is interested in acquiring a Sestertius of Hostilian, please get in touch with me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
