<p>[QUOTE="David@PCC, post: 2935116, member: 80556"]I can't answer other to say the weight of a base metal coin wouldn't matter in this case, there would be no reason I can think of to have a lead core. I would think it would be more valuable to make seals with it but my knowledge is more with coinage. Typically any coin from this period just crumbles or breaks up when severely degraded. I have handled and cleaned many many thousands of these and never came across what you are describing. If it is what you say it is, maybe donating it to a researcher would yield some new discoveries?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
