<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 4192625, member: 75525&quot;]I have a few cut coins. Most likely they were used for change. Most are struck bronze.</p><p>[ATTACH]1076267[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1076268[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1076269[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1076270[/ATTACH]</p><p>A couple are silver (or fouree).</p><p>[ATTACH]1076271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1076273[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1076274[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1076275[/ATTACH]</p><p>Today I picked up a partial cast quadrans.
